Camilla Andersen, Australia - Integrative Lawyers of the World Series 6, Episode 5

Professor Camilla Andersen is a lawyer and academic. She’s been an academic for over thirty years on 4 different continents. She has a lot of experience in international commercial law, but she has devoted the last decade of her life to change and innovation, and to relational contract theory. She is changing the face of contract law and humanizing law.

In this conversation we discussed:

• Humanizing law
• Communication training for lawyers
• Co-creating with clients and other professionals --- remembering that lawyers do not know everything
• How legalese can render a contract unenforceable
• Ways to make contracts more understandable
• Comic Book Contracts and her comic book contract project
• Examples of comic book contracts
• The many benefits of visual contracts
• Word of Caution against creating standardized images and icons for visual contracts
• Relational contract theory, perspective, and practice
• Her work with Mission Australia for which comic book contract was created for kids who are sent to therapy
• What being an integrative lawyer means to her: thinking outside the box, listening to clients, accepting that lawyers do not know everything and co-creating with others.
