Thanks Michael, and much appreciation for your effort it keeping this
going as an example of the value of a true "marketplace of ideas" during a
time where true free expression is becoming a diminishing commodity in the
social network.
Best wishes for the 4th of July to our American members, from a Canadian

Subject: [CollabLaw] File - Things you should know about the listServe
What can you post / say here?
Since its creation in 2000, the listServe has had but one purpose - to
connect those engaged/interested in Collaborative Practice - and one
allowed 'topic' - that is, Collaborative Practice. It has run very happily
with only 2 'rules':
1- Nobody tells anybody else what they should or should not say here.
That means no discussions about what is 'allowed'. The only 'allowed'
recourse to comments or posts that you 'dislike' is the liberal use of your
delete key. ;-)
2- No Spam. That means no direct selling or promotion of ANYTHING. No
out of the blue 'here's a training flyer', no 'my latest blog link', no
'event/book/film/interview/appearance announcement'. You may NOT treat the
listServe as a mailing list to announce or promote any trainings or
anything else that you are 'selling' or 'promoting'.
There are two 'exceptions'.
1- So far it is acceptable to make such an announcement IF the training is
ONLY a basic one.
2- If there is a genuine conversation going on to which the training of
any kind [or your blog post or whatever] is actually relevant, you MAY of
course mention it in your contribution to that conversation. And even
include links and attachments.
Everyone offering a training related to CP really should be including it
on the IACP calendar. It's easy and it's FREE !

Are the posts 'moderated'?
As much as possible, I try to leave the listServe on 'unmoderated', so
that whenever anyone sends a message to CollabLaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, it
just goes out to everyone on the list. Increasingly, though, as our
numbers have grown and infections have proliferated, I have had the
listServe on full 'moderation.' What that means is that every post to the
listServe requires my approval. I do NOT look to edit what anyone says; I
don't look to 'censor' comments. I'm mostly just trying to keep us safe.
Which leads us to....
Who receives what I send?
The listServe is nearing 1000 people. Whenever a message is sent to
CollabLaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, it goes to EVERYONE on the list. That is also
true every time you hit 'Reply' to a message that you received from the
listServe - EVERYONE gets it. So try to keep that in mind when you are
wanting to only say something to the person who sent the message; always
double check your "To:" field before hitting "Send". [My having to approve
message posts has had the side benefit of having allowed me to save some
folks from embarrassing public posts.....and several that would have been
breaches of client privilege.... ]
Can I share the posts I receive?
This listServe is maintained as a private means of communication. By
joining you are agreeing that YOU DO NOT have permission to share ANY of
the comments made here with anyone who is not on the listServe. If you
would like to do so, you MUST request the permission of the author of each
such comment.
Who can join the listServe?
The listServe is open to anyone with a genuine interest in working in
or currently working in the application of Collaborative Practice in any
realm. It is not for the simply curious. Those interested in
participating must request to join using the steps outlined below. on the
home page for this group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CollabLaw/info Just send them that
link to request to join. I've made it as easy as Yahoo will let me while
still seeking to maintain some sense of a "safe container". Make sure to
tell them to read and follow all the steps outlined there; especially
regarding the 'data form'. Please note that I have NO ability to simply
'add' someone to the list. The listServe is NOT open to anyone who wishes
to use it as free mailing list. See Rule 2 above.
How does someone join the listServe?
Here's the steps:
USING THE address from which you will be sending any posts or replies,
send an EMPTY email - no subject, no content - to:
CollabLaw-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Next Steps
1- Within a few minutes you should receive a message from Yahoo Groups
asking you to:
"Please confirm your request to join CollabLaw" [check your spam/junk
folders if you don't see it after about 5 minutes] Simply click "reply" and
"send".
2- After you've done that, and as soon as I am able, you should receive a
message from CollabLaw Moderator asking you to:
complete and send a "COLLABLAW data form" to cpchicago+lstsrv@xxxxxxxxx
[I use it to confirm that you are a real person connected to Collaborative
Practice. And to introduce you to the group.] You should also receive a
set of "monthlyQs" that will tell you a bit about how the group operates.
3- Once you've forwarded that data form, I will review it as soon as I'm
able [I try to get to them at least once a week. If it takes longer than a
week, feel free to ask me about it. If you did this just
'yesterday'…..well, be prepared to be ignored. ;-) LOL]
Why a listServe?
I started this listServe in November of 2000 to help a group of about
40 CP professionals mostly from Illinois and Wisconsin to stay in touch
following a 'meeting' we had in Chicago. Others heard about it and asked
to join in the discussions. And so it has grown over all these years to
approaching 1000 members.
Even in this new day of LinkedIn Groups, of Facebook pages, of
Twitter feeds, of online discussion boards..... the listServe continues and
grows. Though I participate in all of those others, I continue to believe
that "the listServe" holds a unique place and serves its purpose in a
different, maybe more intimate, way than the others. I hope you find value
in it. And continue to add your own value to it.
Responsibilities.....
From it's inception, this has been a one-man operation. That's
important to note because sometimes people think of this as the "IACP
listServe". It is not. As an early Board member, I have much love and
respect and support for the IACP. Anyone who values this humble
undertaking and praises IACP for it is more than welcome to do so.
However, any criticism of it, or complaints of how it is 'run', must be
directed solely at me. Thanks for bringing yourself and your thoughts to
this 'community'.
InJoy!
