LAW AND THE HUMAN BRAIN: WHAT YOU WERE NEVER TAUGHT IN LAW SCHOOL ABOUT HOW HUMANS EXPERIENCE AND RESOLVE CONFLICT

The world as we know it is changing — and so is the legal profession.

A flood of neuroscience and positive psychology research studies is yielding discoveries every day that challenge core beliefs about human consciousness and rationality embedded in our legal institutions. This growing body of evidence carries revolutionary implications for our day-to-day work with clients, depicting a brain that is driven not by reason, but by emotion-- a brain that has changed little in 20,000 years. The impact of these new understandings is already beginning to transform dispute resolution practice.

Attend this cutting-edge introductory course in practical “neuro-literacy” to explore new perspectives on why we and our clients behave as we do during conflict and conflict resolution— and how we might do better. Learn concepts and practical approaches that can make our conflict resolution work more effective and satisfying for ourselves and our clients, and consider some ethical implications of these new understandings about how humans are wired.

This lively, engaging, information-packed program is presented by Pauline Tesler. She has trained thousands of lawyers, mental health,  and financial professionals across North America, Europe, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, and Israel in sophisticated team approaches to collaborative conflict resolution and is regarded as one of the pre-eminent trainers and thinkers in the field. As founding director of the Integrative Law Institute at Commonwealth, her work now focuses on how lawyers can develop practical “neuro-literacy” and make the shift from legal template dispute resolution to human conflict resolution: how we can become more effective advocate-peacemakers.

REGISTER NOW for this first-of-its-kind presentation teaching lawyers about game-changing discoveries in the fields of brain science, behavioral and neuro-economics, positive psychology, body-mind awareness science, and more. Neuro-literacy is not optional. These discoveries potentially impact almost everything that lawyers do when we work with clients. To do the best for clients, every lawyer needs basic working knowledge of recent discoveries in the biological and social sciences as they relate to memory, decision making, conflict, and choice. This program is likely to transform how you think about yourself, your role as a lawyer, and your relationship with your clients. Don't miss it!
