July's CLE: Forgiveness for Lawyers (Save the Date!) July 27th.
Although the notion of forgiveness may seem outside the purview of the legal arena, forgiveness is a powerful tool for conflict resolution. Litigants need legal solutions, but they also need peace, healing, and closure. Forgiveness provides a vehicle for achieving these.
In this session, Eileen Barker, a former litigation lawyer who rejected the traditional adversarial role, now focuses her practice on mediation and conflict resolution, helping thousands of people resolve disputes outside of court. She’ll share with family law practitioners:
Clarity about what forgiveness is and what it is not
How to identify the elements of a grievance
What it takes to diffuse a long-standing grievance
How the forgiveness framework can be used to avoid creating a grievance in the first place

About the Speaker:
Eileen Barker started her career as a trial attorney at the US Department of Justice and was then a litigator at one of San Francisco’s top law firms. She left the traditional practice of law in 1995 to devote her career to mediation. This eventually led her to an exploration of forgiveness and what it offered in terms of resolving conflict and restoring peace.
For the past 20 years, Ms. Barker has led numerous trainings and retreats for lawyers, mediators, and others across the US and Europe. She established a forgiveness coaching practice and published the Forgiveness Workbook and CD. She now trains others who wish to become forgiveness coaches.
