Devoted to Corporate Attorneys, Corporate Lawyers, and Corporate Counsel

Contemplative intelligence is based on mindfulness of the present moment and compassion for others. 

Mindfulness involves retaining attention on a familiar object without distractions.  For a moment, the mind is free from attachment, aversion, delusion.  This liberates the person to see deeply into the nature of things, including its interconnectedness with other subjects.

In law, contemplative practices may reconnect lawyers with their values and intentions.  Some events on contemplative awareness:
