Ben, tell me about your vision.
My vision is for the practice of law to change
and for lawyers to have the opportunity
to treat each other and their clients with more compassion
and more humanity.
Lawyers are generally raised to believe and to treat each other
as if they are the be-all end-all of the business
and to treat clients with at arm's length
and with a lack of empathy.
It's the model by which the legal profession has evolved.
We've seen that in popular media.
We've seen that with things like even just lawyer jokes.
Lawyers are expected as a profession, as an industry,
to be heartless, to be cold, to be analytical, which
the analytical piece is good.
But the heartless and cold is really
detrimental to efficiency, to relationship building,
and to professional success.
And I'm here to change that.
