NYACP "ZOOM" Meetings
Hosted by the Northern Westchester Pod

"Bargaining in the Shadow or Light of the Law in Collaborative Practice"
Let's Talk About It
Wednesday, July 29th @ 9AM

The IACP listserv recently had an inspiring thread mini course regarding the role of the law in Collaborative Practice. Leaders in CP joined the conversation including Stu Webb, Pauline Tesler and David Hoffman. The thread was golden and in itself worth IACP membership dues. Pauline Tesler shared: "When and how the law is discussed is where the artistry comes in. Done skillfully, we can provide that kind of contextual information in a way that strengthens our clients' commitment to the settlement terms they themselves crafted. It requires educating them about what the law is, and what it is not. Demystifying it. " David Hoffman shared his mediation mentor's reframing of the expression "bargaining in the shadow of the law to the more promising bargaining in the light of the law" and using this mantra as a guidepost for our discussion of the law in CP. 

How can the law be successfully weaved to support our work in CP?
