Greetings and Welcome!
You have entered the personal site of Harrison Sheppard -- citizen, counselor,
lawyer, writer, speaker, husband, father, and grandfather. Here you will be exposed
to his unique perspectives on education, literature, the history of the western intellectual
tradition, and the true spirit of the law.
Harrison Sheppard is a dynamic and inspiring speaker/author whose revolutionary,
yet practical insights in peacemaking and conflict resolution have been helping people
around the world reconcile disagreements and resolve problems.
Harrison has addressed audiences and led educational seminars for more than 30
years in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Mexico. He has made broadcast media
appearances as a U.S. Government spokesman and in his personal capacity in both feature
and news programs, including PBS's McNeil-Lehrer Report, the PBS Educational
Network's Belief and Believers, and CBS's The Osgood File. His writings
have been published in newspapers and magazines throughout the United States, including
the Washington Post, The Kansas City Star, The San Francisco Chronicle,
California Lawyer Magazine, and in scholarly journals including the Review
of Politics (University of Notre Dame), the University of Chicago Law Journal,
and Intepretation, A Journal of Politics and Philosophy (Queens College, New
York). In addition to his writing and speaking, Harrison maintains a successful law
practice in San Francisco.
The site contains three sections.
Law & Conflict Resolution is a section explaining
and demonstrating Harrison's approach to the practice of law. The section also outlines
his areas of expertise and the kinds of legal services he offers. This section includes
many of his published articles about lawyers and legal education and asserts his
commitment to a peacemaking model of law rather than a warmaking one. His experience
has shown that this approach is more effective, better for the client, and less costly
to the economy than the current and common adversarial model of legal practice.
Voices of Life is a section containing
some of his unpublished fictional work. Voices
of Light is the first in a series of three books collectively titled Voices of
Life. All three books are composed of fictional dialogues with great figures of world
culture, some real historical persons and others mythic or literary figures. The
second and third books planned in the series are titled Voices
of Love and American Voices. The Tables
of Contents of Voices of Love and American Voices are printed on their respective
pages. If you are interested in receiving notice of the publication of these volumes,
you may e-mail the author at hjslaw@jps.net.
The third section is the Art Gallery
containing the work of two Photographers Harrison represents.
