PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY FORMATION THROUGH THERAPEUTIC JURISPRUDENCE (TJ)

Paper ID: 298 [Abstract]

Therapeutic Jurisprudence (“TJ”) is an approach to law which highlights “wellbeing” as an important component of the legal system [1]. Inspired by an excellent article by Harmony Decosimo at Suffolk University[2], the aim of this paper is to prove that applying law in a TJ manner is a simple and “ready to use” tool to fulfill the revised ABA Standards for the development of a professional identity in the legal profession [3] that state that: “Professional identity focuses on what it means to be a lawyer and the special obligations lawyers have to their clients and society and that the development of a professional identity should involve an intentional exploration of the values, guiding principles, and well-being practices considered foundational to successful legal practice”.  To this purpose we will present a set of TJ legal values creating the “lens” through which professionals can apply the law in a “better and more fulfilling way” and a collection of examples of different legal roles that can give tangible ideas of professional identity formation.
