The final paper invites you to draw upon your experience with mindfulness practice over the course of the semester and integrate it, along with your understanding of mindfulness, into your professional (and personal) life.
Here are examples of several drafts from earlier semesters may use as a general guide:
Transaction Law: Recapturing the Spark
Mental Health: Anxiety and Depression
Professional Satisfaction
Digital Lawyering
I wish for writing the paper to be a meaningful experience for you, in terms of the process of reflection and expression, and for your paper to be one that you (along with others) may look as a helpful guide to understanding and practicing mindfulness.
I will provide you with feedback on your drafts (see below schedule), and together we can discuss and rework your papers as much as you'd like. There is a craft to writing, and part of our mandate is to develop and hone your skills in this regard. So too, it is not easy, in my experience, to reduce mindfulness to words, and that is another aspect of our work together, and of your charge in writing and refining your paper, and ultimately reducing it to its final form.
I look forward to reading your papers.
