Creative Problem Solving
The media portrays lawyers as fighters. Although this role is sometimes appropriate, clients and society are increasingly asking lawyers to approach problems more creatively.
The Center develops curriculum, research, and projects to educate students and lawyers in methods for preventing problems where possible, and creatively solving those problems that do exist. The Center focuses both on using the traditional analytical process more creatively and on using nontraditional problem solving processes, drawn from business, psychology, economics, neuroscience, and sociology among others.
In March 2004, the Center sponsored the second international conference on Preventing and Solving Legal Problems Creatively at the law school.
The Center For Creative Problem Solving was established with initial funding from the Weingart Foundation and named the McGill Center for Creative Problem Solving in honor of William J. McGill who was a noted educator and Chancellor of UCSD.
