Chapter 2

The Middle Way through Impermanence and Change

In the legal profession, change is often viewed as a disruption—something to be managed, controlled, and minimized. Lawyers are trained to anticipate risks, mitigate uncertainty, and create stability-enhancing structures. However, what if the assumption that change can be controlled is flawed?
