This chapter describes the nascent development of a contemplative approach to law and legal education. It describes some of the notable innovations-inspiring new courses and cocurricular offerings-that have been increasingly observed among law schools and argues that because these reforms respond to a range of criticisms of the legal profession they merit further research and support among legal educators.
