Clifford Rosky, who will be joining us virtually, is Professor of Law at the University of Utah’s S.J. Quinney College of Law, where he teaches courses on constitutional law, criminal law, and mindfulness. Several years ago, Rosky began teaching a new course called Mindful Lawyering, which examines the relationship between the practice of meditation and the practice of law. Last year, he was the principal investigator of "Mindful Lawyering: A Pilot Study on Mindfulness Training for Law Students,” 13 Mindfulness 2347 (2022), a peer-reviewed study analyzing changes in well-being and mindfulness among law students. Rosky has been practicing meditation for more than 20 years, and has spent more than 30 days on silent retreat. He is a member of the International Mindfulness Teachers Association, and he has served on the Board of Directors of the Mindfulness in Law Society, the Executive Committee of the Balance Section of the American Association of Law Schools, and the Utah State Bar Lawyer and Judge Well-Being Committee. He is certified as a professional mindfulness teacher by the International Mindfulness Teachers Association and trained as a mindfulness facilitator at UCLA's Mindfulness Awareness Research Center in the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior.
