Description: "This collection of writings by participants in the Project for Integrating Spirituality, Law, and Politics (PISLAP), along with others, actively engaged in transforming law, legal education, and social justice, seeks to heal brokenness rather than merely resolve disputes [...] It showcases the abundant ways in which lawyers, judges, law professors, and others are employing more communitarian, peaceful, and healing ways to resolve conflict and achieve justice. It is written for those who share similar goals and are eager to learn new ways to practice law and create a legal system that fosters empathy, compassion, and constructive change."--From book jacket.
