WWL is proud to present "The Leader Within" as a seminar on October 14th, in conjunction with our Annual Event. This seminar is open to anyone and everyone who is interested.
Across the nation, lawyers and judges are exploring how mindfulness practices can increase professionalism and the quality of legal services, while also supporting lawyer well being. To learn more, please join WWL for an introduction to mindfulness for lawyers and judges.
Sevilla Rhoads, who is both an employment lawyer with Garvey Schubert Barer and an Associate Mental Health Counselor with Present Health and Wellness, will start our program by reviewing some of the neuroscientific theory behind mindfulness as it relates to the practice of law. Sevilla will also offer experiential demonstrations of several basic, practical mindfulness exercises designed for use by legal professionals.
Next, our panel will discuss how they use mindfulness daily in their legal practices. Our panelists include: Anthony Gipe - civil litigator and WSBA Governor at Large, Adriene Keith - Collaborative Family Law and Mediator, and Sherry Williams - Pierce Co. Public Defender.
We will close with a Question & Answer period for all of our presenters. We will also provide information to continue learning about Mindfulness either in person here in Washington, or through various written materials.
