Thanks very much for the factual upgrade, Chip. I wasn't aware of that, and
it may be that the current head of the institute may not have been aware
when he proposed this offering that there had been one previously. My hope
is that we will have so much interest in this workshop that the Straus
Institute will want to keep collaborative practice on the menu and expand
the offerings. They promote their events worldwide to a very broad and
"high quality" adr mailing list. Hope to see many of you there; it will be
good to see you in Malibu, Chip. Best, PHT

For those of you who want a high level training in, what is truly a
world-class setting, this is the ticket. For the record, however, the
first ever collaborative workshop put on by the Straus Institute was June
25-27, 2002 and was the product of having to convince Randy Lowry, then
the
head of Straus, that they needed to make room for this rapidly emerging
movement in their panoply of dispute resolution programs. For those
interested and energetic participants who came from around the country, I
felt the need to honor their participation in the first ever collaborative
program offered by the Straus Institute. That said, for those of you who
sign up for this workshop, you will never forget it, I guarantee.

Dear Friends,
The first-ever advanced collaborative family law training to be offered

take place on June 19-21, at the campus of Pepperdine Law School inMalibu,
California. I am writing to suggest that you consider attending thisevent.

The Straus Institute is considered by many to be the foremost dispute
resolution teaching and study program in North America. Their
professional skills programs (in June at the Malibu campus and inOctober
in
Woodstock, Vermont) bring together leading dispute resolution trainersfrom
North America for two and one half days of intensive skills training inme
mediation --and now, for the first time, in advanced collaborative law.
The quality of this program is topnotch. David Fink will co-train with
in this Advanced Collaborative Family Law course. We believe this is theone
first-ever opportunity to work intensively with a small group of highly
experienced collaborative legal practitioners over a period of two and
half days. In the evening, the program includes meals and opportunitiesto
socialize on campus with trainers and practitioners from around theworld
who are participating in this and the other dispute resolution seminarsand
workshops being offered as part of the June Professional Skills Program.of
Our Advanced Collaborative Family Law course will offer eighteen units
continuing legal education credit and certified family law specialistand
credit, including credits in legal ethics and in psychological and
counseling aspects of family law. Enrollment will be strictly limited,
all participants are expected to have substantial prior case experiencein
collaborative law. In addition to presentation and video material, therecase
will be substantial roleplaying as well as seminar-style discussion and
conferencing. We expect the learning environment to be intense, highestmost
quality, and very enjoyable.
The Pepperdine campus at Malibu must surely be a top contender for the
beautiful law school campus on the planet. It occupies a coastalhillside
