Jean Sternlight just sent around the following announcement about Len Riskin’s recent visit to UNLV:

The Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at UNLV Boyd School of Law was recently privileged to host Professor Leonard Riskin (U. Florida) as our annual Saltman Lecturer.  Len’s topic was:  “Awareness in Dispute Resolution and Law.”  He explored how mindfulness meditation, an ancient method of paying attention in the present moment and without judgment, can be combined with a focus on core emotional concerns to foster better negotiation.  His remarks, and those of a set of commentators, will be published in the Nevada Law Journal in several months.  Meanwhile you can watch a web cast of his talk using this link:   http://www.law.unlv.edu/leonard-riskin

The Nevada Law Review is going to be publishing an article from Len, and I believe they’re going to have other commentors as well.  I’m not sure when that issue will be coming out.
