SUMMARY:Champion poverty alleviation through taking the highroad\; a lawy
 er's path to alleviating poverty while practicing law with a high moral 
 conscience
DESCRIPTION:It has been said that there are basically three types of prac
 tice orientation: (1) the legal technical approach (2) the wise advisor 
 (3) the lawyer with a high moral purpose as guided by the lawyers' consc
 ience. It has been well recognised that the solution to the social chall
 enges which intersect poverty such as migration climate change and wealt
 h inequality must involve a lawyer’s commitment to a high moral imperati
 ve. This requires that that the lawyer approach legal problem-solving gu
 ided by such purpose. International norms particularly norms that are gr
 ounded upon soft law increasingly call for a holistic approach to busine
 ss planning. The panel discussion will focus on how such things as the i
 ndependence of the legal profession can assist in pursuing the practice 
 orientation of a high moral purpose while still maintaining the support 
 of the client in such pursuits.\n\nA pre-recorded video made for the ses
 sion\, by Hon Mia Amor Mottley QC\, Prime Minister of Barbados\, on the 
 topic\, will be played and used in the discussion.\n
