Carroll Straus - Collaborative Lawyer

Carroll Straus practices Collaborative Law. "Collaborative law, she explains, "is a way of practicing law whereby the attorneys for both of the parties in a family dispute agree to assist them in resolving conflict or legal issues using cooperative strategies rather than adversarial techniques and litigation." I had never dreamed that such a vision existed, let alone was actually put into practice. Such a simple idea, and so profoundly r/evolutionary.

Carroll contacted me because of her interest in attending a DeepFUN Retreat. That alone told the story. How many lawyers do you know who'd want to to bring fun into their practice?

Check her site carefully. There are links to articles and organizations that are bridging the gap between law and healing. My often groundless faith in the humanization of either of these endeavors is on the verge of being restored.
