#1 J. Kim Wright - “Don’t get Oprah on board until you’re ready”
Description
If we want to change the game, we have to start looking at the rules.
The rule of law has developed in our society with the express purpose of producing Justice: but how often is it actually doing that?
And has our conception of what is 'Just' evolved since many of our laws came to pass?
Furthermore, how do most of us see the role of lawyer? We imagine, at best, a stressed but driven warrior tackling the bad guys and winning the good fight with her superior wit, indefatigable commitment and luck on her side. At worst, the image of a manipulator, disengaged from the human impact of their work, motivated only by money and the thrill of the game.
Kim and her colleagues are writing a new script and reinventing the character of the lawyer. The lawyer in the Integrative movement becomes a facilitator for peace, restoration and repair: they essentially help people to make agreements despite massive apparent conflict.
How did a small-town lawyer and mother of 16 children, become a leader in a global movement? And how did she deliver excellent results for the people she worked with? And how did she capture the attention of Oprah, only to be inundated with requests she could not field?
J. Kim Wright gives an extraordinary account of her work to build a movement that still might not be as visible as Oprah, but is now robust enough to reach the growing demand for equitable restorative justice all across our world.
