A different perspective altogether
Great chat yesterday with a law professor from University of Westminster, London about preventive law in corporate and global contexts where precedents don’t exist and how it requires a different set of skills than adversarial law — creativity and collaboration being among two of the core competencies. If that isn’t enough cultural jarring for the uncivilized contrasts here in the States, we went on to talking about the primacy of being (think Buber, for example) in understanding the value of trust and consensus building in the design of ethical and sustainable contracts. Quite amazing.
