“The faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention over and over again is the very root of judgment, character, and will. An education which should improve this faculty would be the education par excellence.” — William James
MINDFULNESS
is the practice of paying attention to moment-to-moment experience in a manner that is engaged and unassuming. “Miami Law’s mindfulness program teaches essential skills for a 21st Century lawyer. I know it will give students a unique advantage both in school and as they move through their careers. I wish I had it in law school.” — U.S. Congressman Tim Ryan
In 2011 Miami Law established the country’s first Mindfulness in Law Program, reflecting its commitment to preparing students at the highest levels of academic excellence while providing the tools to maintain and develop their intellectual gifts and cultivate greater emotional wellbeing. The program serves as a model for law schools across the country, as administrators and faculty, along with law students and their families, appreciate the influence of legal education on the health and well-being of students and its impact on the legal profession and across society.
The Mindfulness in Law Program was founded by Scott Rogers, MS, JD., a nationally recognized leader in mindfulness in law, author of four books on mindfulness, a mindfulness researcher, and creator of the acclaimed Jurisight ® program for teaching mindfulness to legal professionals. Professor Rogers collaborates with colleagues across the law school community and reaches out to lawyers, judges and business leaders who practice mindfulness. Together they offer students and local attorneys a unique collection of classes, workshops, seminars, and events that integrate mindfulness into the law school and legal experience.
