Christopher Corts practices, studies, writes, and teaches in spaces where abstract legal theory meets the grinding realities of everyday life. Teaching courses in Legal Analysis and Writing, Jurisprudence, and work-life satisfaction, he integrates mindful and other contemplative pedagogies to help cultivate greater awareness, empathy, creativity, and
compassion. Having enjoyed appellate practice prior to becoming a law professor, his mission is to help lawyers and law students develop more sustainable ways of being successful: pursuing excellence, doing justice, finding
purpose while engaging the rigors of professional life in a personally-meaningful way.
