Professor Bernard Perlmutter, Director of the Children and Youth Law Clinic, Scott Rogers, Director of Miami Law’s Mindfulness in Law Program, and Professor Rebecca Sharpless Director of our Immigration Clinic, presented “Mindfulness and the Law School Clinic” at the 2014 AALS Conference on Clinical Legal Education in Chicago. Since 2010, Miami Law’s Mindfulness Program has integrated mindfulness into the law school’s clinics and wider curriculum. Miami Law clinicians are using mindfulness as a tool for the cultivation of focus, reflection, and empathy. The panel introduced participants to mindfulness and provided them with class materials that integrate mindful reflection and practice into clinics.
