  • Summary

  • David Hoffman is the founder of the Boston Law Collaborative and teaches mediation and dispute resolution at Harvard Law School. Influenced by the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and the anti-war movement of the 1960s and 1970s, David entered Harvard Law School with the goal of advancing social change. After a clerkship with then-Judge and later-Justice Stephen Breyer, David joined a public-spirited private law firm where he represented prisoners on death row and developed an interest in mediation. He left the law firm in 2002 to form the Boston Law Collaborative, where he serves as a mediator and collaborative lawyer. In this interview, David describes his career path, his vision of the lawyer as peacemaker, and his quest to use his talents to make the world a better place.
