Feeling and Relating One of the cornerstone skills of a lawyer is supposed to be the ability to compartmentalize one's inner world. To set aside personal feelings and beliefs and work completely and only rationally on a client's matters.

Law Students How I got introduced to Collaborative Practice…
In 2000, I met Stu Webb at a meeting of the International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers (IAHL). There, I found out that he and a small group of lawyers in Minneapolis came up with a brilliant idea. In the divorce context, rather than fight, get the clients and the other lawyer to focus on settlement. Get that agreement up front and tell the clients if they don’t settle, they need to get different lawyers to litigate the case.
As soon as I heard about it, it made sense to me. My marriage at the time was a bit shaky so I asked Stu for his phone number.

Lawyers Keeva to be Honored in Chicago
Steven Keeva has been a beloved member of the legal transformation community for many years. His columns in the ABA Journal highlighted and opened up new opportunities for lawyers. As author of Transforming Practices: Finding Joy and Satisfaction in the Legal Life (an ABA Journal Book published by Contemporary Books, 1999), he opened up possibilities in law that few had ever conceived. He told many stories that connected with the heart and soul of law and comforted and inspired many.
In the past few years, Steve has been ill. Various diagnoses attempt to name the neurological condition that has interfered with his ability to communicate. "Early Alzheimers" is the label that helps many of us understand it but we pray for a diagnosis which is treatable and returns the Steve we know and love to wellness. For now, his body is healthy but he is unable to remember simple details like phone numbers. He cannot read or write and email has been impossible for a long time. Dialing the telephone is difficult but he enjoys talking when people call him. His long-term memory for names and voices seems in tact.
This year, the tenth anniversary of Transforming Practices, the IAHL is honoring Steve at a dinner on Saturday night, June 13, 2009, as part of its 17th Annual Holistic Law Conference, “Voices of the New Lawyer,” in Chicago. IAHL will be presenting him the First Annual Transforming Practices Award. Barring unforeseen circumstances, Steve will be in attendance.
