I don't think I have seen the challenge stated so starkly "the biggest competitor for law firms in the future...is AI-empowered clients." Profound.

UFCs require specialized judges with background in and knowledge of family law. This should include experience implementing children's rights, particularly their right to meaningful participation and voice. UFCs would be a significant step forward.

Unified family court system needed across Canada to deal with ‘crisis’ in system: Advocates Society. UFC would combine jurisdictions and help ease delays in settling family law disputes, says report.

@RepWexton While we live in Canada, we appreciate the leadership you and others in the U.S. are providing for this important cause. Thank you.

[Kari Boyle @Kariboyle]

@RepWexton Dear Rep. Wexton. My dear husband has PSP. He would like to say: " thank you for your advocacy in support of those with PSP. I have this terrible disease as well. If there is anything useful I can do I respectfully request that you share it with me."

An insightful analysis describing the internal law firm dynamics and culture that create barriers to true innovation.

[Rise Women's Legal Centre @RiseWomensLegal]

The BC Court of Appeal has re-affirmed that courts must take into account the impact of indirect violence on a child's best interests when deciding parenting arrangements, not just direct violence against the child. Huge victory for Rise and Rise Lawyer, Vandana Sood

As usual, I found @jordan_law21's most recent post on the future of the legal profession very thoughtful and provocative. Jordan identifies 3 ways in which human lawyers will continue to be relevant, even if (when?) technology supplants some (much?) of the work we currently do:

We need justice workers, yes!

So excited to follow @NikoleNelson10 & team at Frontline Justice! Listen in to @bobambrogi's @LawNextPodcast to learn more.

Also, curious how many lawyers are also truly "justice workers"?

We don't have to be. So maybe we should let others.

"When you can no longer sell the time it takes to achieve a client’s outcome, then you must sell the outcome itself and the client’s experience of getting there. That completely changes the dynamics of what law firms are all about". We need feedback on the client experience.

I wanted the first piece that I posted in 2024 to be hopeful, practical & profound. So I chose @adamkahane 's recent article on radical collaboration. Radical collaboration is about working together with diverse others from across the system in a way that fundamentally transforms that system. It not only focuses on the good & harmony of the whole, but also embraces conflict & power issues. We need radical collaboration as system leaders to create the relational conditions (affordances) for the big changes ahead: https://t.co/J6FTWEVEJg

Zoom fatigue is not burnout. It’s boreout.

New study: when meetings are virtual, we’re not overwhelmed—we’re understimulated. Cardiac measures show drowsiness, not stress.

The antidotes are common sense but not common practice: fewer, shorter, more interactive online meetings.
