Click to listen to Scott Rogers of the Institute for Mindfulness Studies interviewing Jason Meek who teaches law at UC Hastings Law and at Berkeley Law (formerly Boalt Hall).
If you are interested in the contemplative approach to both teaching and practicing law, I recommend that you listen to what Meek says. He talks about his own story, how he teaches, and recommended resources and practices. He also discusses challenges experienced by the students in balancing competition and contemplation.

Note: It was pleasing to me to hear him acknowledge Gary Friedman for the value Gary provided to Jason's path of mindfulness in the law. He found particularly helpful Gary's ability to integrate his personal and professional self. As I've several times mentioned here, I was fortunate to take a two-year intensive in mediation with Gary, and will always be grateful for what I learned from him.
