This might be my point of departure, to some extent: the pressure cooker of groups working together works perhaps precisely in that it enacts betweens.

Can we as lawyers begin to see our work as person to person practice: taking out the word “law” entirely? More than that can we work on what underlies it—person to person, which can be one to one all the way to many to many? Thus the Internet and Twitter and Facebook are our natural milieu.
