Law

Legal scholars have noted that the profession is suffering from a “crisis in identity and values" and a decline in ethics and professionalism. Despite these trends, many law professionals want to reclaim the highest ideals that first drew them into the profession. Professionals in law and legal education offer retreats and renewal experiences in several settings for practicing attorneys, drug court judges and staff, and law students. In addition, Courage & Renewal Facilitators are bringing this approach to personal and professional renewal to their colleagues and students through these institutions:

The Center for Law & Renewal

The Center for Law & Renewal promotes a legal profession that dedicates itself to healing and peace in our society, and provides opportunities for law professionals to explore and reflect upon the deeper meaning of their vocation and their lives. They sponsor retreats and other programs for law professionals that seek to integrate the inner life of the spirit with the outer life of service and justice.

Texas Wesleyan University School of Law

The Texas Wesleyan School of Law has developed courses for law students that address practice and vocational questions based on the circle of trust approach.
