About

Communities for Lawyers

Legal Trends Network is an international information resource and collaborative exchange for lawyers and social justice professionals. This site is not intended for the general public and should in no way be considered legal advice.

The Network's purpose is to facilitate the building of communities and social networks of like-minded attorneys, judges, academics, law students, social justice professionals and coaches. Its further objective is to provide a forum for discussing and exchanging information relative to lawyer well-being, alternative modes of conflict resolution (such as collaborative law and transformational mediation), peacemaking practices, therapeutic jurisprudence and social and restorative justice ideas.

Content found here is intended for lawyers and is generally provided by the professionals the Network supports, even when the process is assisted by LTN staff. The companion portion of the site is a professional social network providing services to professional organizations and organic groups.
