The Mindful lawyertm
Institute for Mindfulness Studies
Mission Statement
The Institute for Mindfulness Studies is dedicated to the transformation of the practice of law, and the legal system, from one that creates unnecessary pain and discomfort for its participants into one that fulfills its original mandate of contributing to a more peaceful and orderly society through a process of collaboration, wisdom, integrity, and professionalism.
The Institute for Mindfulness Studies has developed the Jurisight program to introduce mindfulness practices to law students, law professors, lawyers, paralegals, judges, and legislators. Through the integration of mindfulness principles and experiences into the landscape of the law, and the minds and hearts of its practitioners, this transformation will take place.
Participants in the legal system will share a vocabulary, an understanding of the nature of mind, and the ability to respond to events and encourage others to respond to events from states of greater mindful awareness of what is actually taking place in the present moment.
The Institute for Mindfulness Studies offers presentations, as well as more in depth two, four, and eight week courses to small and large law firms and organizations that employ lawyers. It also conducts workshops, and offers individual instruction.
IMS offers instruction and consultation in mindfulness- based practices. Our services, designed to enhance performance and well-being, are tailored for schools, firms, small and large groups, and individuals.

TESTIMONIALS
“Scott Rogers has the answer to finding harmony in the practice of law. Introducing concepts of mindfulness in my legal career was my answer to feeling fulfilled, balanced and rewarded. Scott has helped me integrate different techniques into my workday - a benefit that has been felt in my personal life as well.”
-- Lori Tashman, Esq.
Government Attorney
Mr. Rogers' CLE workshop was one of the best I can recall taking, for four reasons. First, it was intimately connected to the work, thinking, and stressing that we do as lawyers. Second, it was based in sound scientific psychology. Third, it was immediately useful: I was able to
use the techniques he taught me to good effect during the workshop itself. And fourth, even six months after taking the workshop, I still both think about the techniques he taught me and when they are applicable (which is half the battle with mindfulness) and use them to
good effect.
-- Mitchell Silverman, J.D., M.A.
Principal, Infoneed Research
“Scott’s original methods of waking us up to the present moment are easy to understand and a delight to experience. The simplicity and power of his techniques make them all the more appealing to busy lawyers.”
-- Melvin Rubin, Esq.
Family Law Attorney & Mediator
“As an attorney, I found myself always thinking, analyzing, and planning ahead. This constant activity left me feeling exhausted and sapped me of any ‘joie de vivre.’ Since meeting Scott and incorporating his mindfulness techniques into my everyday life, I feel less anxious and, in short -- Happier.” I am very grateful to Scott and his techniques. I encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed and over-stimulated to meet with Scott. It will change your life.”
-- Ana-Maria Deschapelle, Esq.
