Description
I. INTERSECTIONALITY: INTRODUCTION TO THE FRAMEWORK This Article introduces the intersection between the professional practices of Community Economic Development (CED) lawyering and mediation, emphasizing the overlapping skills between these fields. CED provides clients with transactional legal support (1) in creating and sustaining their own development projects, such as creating affordable housing and small businesses, as well as in exercising meaningful control and/or influence over private, for-profit development projects. Mediation is the intervention into the disputes or transactions of others in order to explore the possibility of mutual optimal outcomes. (2) This definition of mediation is at the heart of the legal counselor's role under an empowerment-driven CED approach. (3) Many CED clients are community groups that inherently have multiple and often competing internal interests. An empowerment-driven CED lawyer counsels community groups in a way that maximizes the group's underlying shared interests in order to increase the gains for the entire group as well as the larger community.
