The founding Member of MLCCG is retired litigation attorney, Jeffrey H. Bunn, who practiced in both State and Federal courts for nearly 40 years, and was previously member of a three-person Management Committee for a Chicago law firm. “I’m one of us. I’ve represented clients in a variety of civil matters, was a former ethics partner and have managed (and been managed by) others. I understand how lawyers and law firms operate. I also understand business and business people. And I’m a regular meditator, trained in the Vipassana tradition, and schooled in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction ("MBSR")”.

Jeff was prior chair of the Chicago Bar Association (“CBA”) Commercial Litigation committee, and more recently, the founder and initial chair of the CBA committee on Mindfulness and the Law.

He was also the initial vice-chair of the Lawyers’ Assistance Program (“LAP”) Illinois Task Force for Lawyer Well-Being (modeled after the National Task Force that was formed by the American Bar Association, which issued a written Report in 2017). Jeff has led guided meditation sessions for the American Association of Law Schools (“AALS”), and other organizations. In addition, he has presented on matters concerning the incorporation of mindfulness and meditation into the practice of law for the CBA, Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (“CVLS”), the State Bar of Nevada and the National Association of Bar Executives (“NABE”), as well as other professional organizations. Jeff's signature talk addresses the business case for introducing mindfulness and meditation as part of the business models of law firms (listen to Episode 24 of the "in brief" podcast of ALPS--the nation's largest direct writer of lawyer malpractice insurance).

Jeff was previous blogger-in-chief of “The Mindful Law Guy” blog, and has written a book (Canary In The Coalmine) that is submitted for publication, as well as a screenplay (The Meditation Hesitation Blues), that has been submitted for sale and production.
