***************************
Hello, all. On November 13-15, Scott Rogers and I are hosting in Santa Fe a unique event for lawyers from around the country. I spoke with Scott this weekend and we made a decision about the fee for the event. Due to the economy and its challenges for people, both financially and emotionally, we want as many lawyers as possible (up to the number of places we have reserved) to learn the skills being taught in the workshop
So . . .
Scott Rogers: Mindfulness Based Methods to Become Present and Connected
Part 1: Scott introduces Jurisight which teaches mindfulness practices to lawyers and lawyers so that they can become more present, effective, more connected and experience a general sense of well-being. He talks about how he became interested in meditation in law school and the support he got from Marty Peters at the University of Florida and his journey through law.

Contemplative Practices for Lawyers: Methods of Flowing from Reactive Brain to Reflective Mind
From the site:
As lawyers, we work with conflict . . .
•With others when we negotiate, litigate, and mediate
•Within ourselves when we achieve balance, skill, and control
We are definitely not alone
Since my last blog, we've put thousands of miles on the Honda CRV and we've gone through several boxes of blank tapes. With interviews in South Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, we've come close to doubling our video inventory. I'm so excited about our latest interviews that I wish I could twitch my nose and get them on the site immediately.
From Florida: TJ leader Bruce Winick, several very inspiring and pioneering problem-solving courts judges, and Scott Rogers on mindfulness.
Florida Bar Annual Meeting to Include Mindfulness Segment
There will be a three-hour program in June at the Florida Bar Convention in Orlando. Lawyers will receive CLE to learn about mindfulness and, perhaps most thrilling, watch four masters of mindfulness, Professor Len Riskin, Judge Alan Gold, and attorneys Paul Lipton and George Knox. The four will interact together as the mind of a lawyer responding to audience members' questions in a spontaneous demonstration of the reactive and then the mindful brain.
