Letting Generosity Set the Tone for What Follows

Description

I wonder about the power of generosity to set the tone of the law, or change it.

Right now, we’re everyone to their corner and then knives out. What if we could be passionately on the sides of clients, causes, justice, but in a different way – not with a classic, take no prisoners approach, but with generosity? And with faith that the choice to do that  would be seen as skillful, not weak?

In a way generosity seems anathema to our work. In another way it seems like a shift we desperately need. There’s no point in guessing, though. We’ll only know if we try.
