Holistic Law

Law as a Healing Profession - A Difference That Benefits You

We belong to the International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers (IAHL). While we will not hesitate to fight for you when necessary, our overriding concern is with law as a healing profession. The only real solution is the one where everyone wins. Below is a definition of holistic law, from the IAHL website. To visit their site, click on the logo at right.

"Common Threads"

Holistic law is hard to define. It often seems more a process than a particular method of practicing law. However, there seem to be some common threads among holistic lawyers, which may lead to a practical definition of holistic law. IAHL weaves these threads together and finds that many of its members are committed to "PEACELAW" as defined below:

Promote peaceful advocacy and holistic legal principles.
Encourage compassion, reconciliation, forgiveness, and healing.
Advocate the need for a humane legal process.
Contribute to peace building at all levels.
Enjoy the practice of law.

Listen intentionally and deeply in order to gain complete understanding.
Acknowledge the opportunity in conflict.
Wholly honor and respect the dignity and integrity of each individual.
