Law is a healing profession. At least it can be. Abraham Lincoln, one of our country's most noble lawyers, made it his mission to help his family, friends, neighbors, and countrymen heal their wounds and find peace. Finding peace often means growth, pain, and destruction of the old ways to make way for the new. Part of helping others heal is being present for their pain. Practicing collaborative law allows us as lawyers to fully realize ourselves as members of a healing profession. As we transform our practice to a more healing approach, there will be days of wonder and doubt. Welcome to the journey of thousand miles, beginning with this first, single step. May we all have many companions with whom to share our journeys.
