JEFF BROWN did all the things he was supposed to do to become successful in the eyes of the world.He was on the Dean’s Honor List as an undergraduate. He won the Law and Medicine prize in law school. He apprenticed with famous criminal lawyer, Eddie Greenspan. It had been Jeff’s lifelong dream to practice criminal law and search for the truth in the courtroom. But then, on the verge of opening a law practice, he heard a little voice inside telling him to stop, just stop. With great difficulty, he honored this voice and began a heartfelt quest for the truth that lived within him. Although he didn’t realize it then, he was actually questing for his innate image, the essential being that he came into this lifetime to embody. He was searching for his authentic face. The new edition of his book, Soulshaping (A Journey of Self-Creation) was published by North Atlantic Books on August 25, 2009.

Stu Webb

 


STU WEBB of Minneapolis, Minnesota practiced traditional family law for more than twenty years when, during the late 1980s, he became interested in mediation and alternate dispute resolution. Stu’s challenge was to craft a way to bring the particular talent of lawyers as problem-solvers into a “settlement only” process for family law representation. From this insight, Collaborative Law was born. In 1990, Stu announced to his clients and colleagues that he would no longer go to court; he would only represent clients in a participatory negotiation process aimed solely at creative settlements. If the process could not result in settlement, Stu would refer his clients to litigation counsel and withdraw from the matter.
