Preacher, teacher, sales professional:
If the only things you have to sell
are fear and guilt
I’m not buying

We lawyers need to think about:

As lawyers, and especially together as lawyers, we need to think about what matters to our clients and their families. We cannot heal an individual in isolation: and make no mistake—we are healers: whole-makers. Our clients are pulling together the meaning of their lives. Their families are already grieving their loss. Their family fabric is stretched thin, tired and stressed. All this affects what our clients will decide to let us help them do.

This is the hard work of an elder caring lawyer, the work we sometimes wish we could avoid, but the work where we can make our larger contributions. We can release people from what constrains them and it might not even be what we were trained to think is a legal issue. But we are counselors at law, not of law. We are not computers on a stick. We are humans and last time I looked, we have flesh, blood, and a heart. We are healers of the relatedness of humans. We are all related.
