CUTTING EDGE LAW

KIM WRIGHT J. Kim Wright J.D., is a pioneer in the field of law as a healing profession. A graduate of the University of Florida College of Law, she passed the North Carolina Bar in 1994, her third bar exam and the only membership that she currently maintains. Still practicing law part-time, she understands the challenges and rewards of a new paradigm of legal practice based upon peacemaking, problem-solving, and healing conflict. She was the original founder of the Renaissance Lawyer Society, a non-profit organization of lawyers “supporting legal transformation and innovation”. Since 1999, she has been speaking, writing, and interacting with lawyers about this new paradigm of law. She is widely recognized as one of the leaders defining and guiding the movement. In her work, she has met thousands of lawyers and has developed meaningful connections with key leaders who are influential with thousands of other lawyers. She has consulted with media - mainstream, professional and alternative. After years of working in the field, she identified the need for a central information resource and “virtual community center”. She began development of CuttingEdgeLaw.com in November of 2004.
