This workshop trains participants in the interplay between a lawyer’s mindset and the risk of ethical liabilities in the practice of law. Using neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology, it illustrates how training the brain to be more mindful and less reactive serves as a protective measure against potential conflicts of interest. It engages the audience through hypotheticals which challenge preconceived notions of mindfulness and its practical application beyond stress management and interpersonal skills in the legal profession. Participants will be equipped with tools and techniques to decrease the risk of developing conflicts of interest by increasing awareness and control of how their mindsets influence the practice of law.
