Collaborative Law Basic Training
Collaborative law provides a team-oriented method for resolving disputes, as an alternative to adversarial litigation. Teams include the respective clients, their separate attorneys, and also typically a financial neutral and one or more mental health professionals to assist the process. This basic training is for legal, financial, and mental health practitioners who may be interested in learning about collaborative law as a practice area; who are relatively new to collaborative law and wish to hone their knowledge and skills; and for more experienced collaborative law practitioners who wish a refresher course.
This basic training will be presented by the coordinating committee, using materials from the International Association of Collaborative Practitioners and other sources. The panels will consist of collaborative practitioners: financial experts, attorneys and mental health professionals.
