Practice Management

Stephanie West Allen, JD (ideablawg.com) and Jeffrey Schwartz, MD, author of The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force have teamed up to create a seminar and blog on the topics of neuroscience and conflict resolution for lawyers.  According to their website, in their seminar they will answer questions such as:

"The 6-hour program looks at conflict and the process of conflict resolution through the lens of neuroscience. What does the brain do when it is in a conflict? What does neuroscience have to tell us about how to facilitate conflict resolution? What lessons does the brain have for preventing future conflict?"

What does neuroscience have to do with lawyers?  A lot of energy is spent on discussing what we think without considering how we can think better.  Recent discoveries on how we think, and how our brains work, can help lawyers in the courtroom as well as leading their firms.  Add Brains on Purpose to your RSS feed.  Their 6-hour class will be in Denver in the Fall.
