00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Ben, tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,080
My vision is for the practice of law to change

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,240
and for lawyers to have the opportunity

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,240
to treat each other and their clients with more compassion

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:17,560
and more humanity.

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,360
Lawyers are generally raised to believe and to treat each other

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:30,200
as if they are the be-all end-all of the business

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,360
and to treat clients with at arm's length

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,160
and with a lack of empathy.

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,240
It's the model by which the legal profession has evolved.

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,400
We've seen that in popular media.

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,560
We've seen that with things like even just lawyer jokes.

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:57,240
Lawyers are expected as a profession, as an industry,

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,200
to be heartless, to be cold, to be analytical, which

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,560
the analytical piece is good.

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,320
But the heartless and cold is really

17
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:08,120
detrimental to efficiency, to relationship building,

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,120
and to professional success.

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:25,120
And I'm here to change that.
