In the variety of work I have done in my lifetime-from jury consulting, to teaching, interpreting and writing- there are three uniting threads: access, art and communication.

Whether by accident or design, I have happily drifted toward the creative center of each career. I studied law, my sights set on being an attorney. Inside the courtroom I found myself captivated by the unfolding dramas of the 9 -12 people seated in a jury box, (stage right). Their back-stories and their willingness to grapple with, and then instantly apply, complex legal theories, amazed me for fifteen years .Jury consulting appealed to my love of narrative and fostered in me an ever deeper respect for procedural justice in the United States. It was my good fortune to co-author a best selling book about a celebrity case I was working on in Texas (that sent me to Aspen to write about Martina Navratilova and her break up with her long time companion). In each field, it was the story, the structure, the human experience that captured my interest and ultimately brought me home. |
