Hi, Bobbie. I just today finished presenting an all-day workshop in south
Florida that addresses the real underlying issue you have identified--the
slipping away from the passion that brought us to this work originally. It
is called “Communicating the Passion: Powerful Elevator Massages and
Informed Process Choice Conversations,” and this is the third time I’ve
presented it. In the workshop we go deeply into how to communicate the
unique power and benefit that team CP offers as a deep conflict resolution
process for families and children, and how to differentiate it effectively
from other out of court dispute resolution approaches. You might want to
consider bringing it to NM. I’d be glad to share more information about
the workshop offline...or you could talk with Bob Merlin about it; he was
there.
Warm regards, Pauline

Bob-I couldn’t agree more. We worked hard on the UCLA here. We adopted
through our Rules Ctte. Our community has had some fractures because of
this Big C/Little c issue. We are trying to recommit the community to the
fervent zeal we had when we started Collaborative.
Very truly,

Absent the signed contract and disqualification provision, call it what
you will, but it is NOT the Collaborative Process. Professionals are free
to practice as they want, but they should not claim to use the
Collaborative Process unless they are following the rules. When Stu Webb
created this concept, he intended the attorney disqualification to be THE
distinguishing characteristic. There is a reason why the Uniform Laws
Commission made the signed Participation Agreement and attorney
disqualification requirements of the Collaborative Process. 18
jurisdictions now have the UCLA. Feel free to contact me if you want help
adopting it in New Mexico.

Hi all –
The NM Collaborative Practice Group is planning a fall 2019 Symposium.
Our community has been struggling with something that keeps bubbling up.
Over the last 5 years give or take, there has been a development of
practitioners in our community that do not feel the need for signing a
Collaborative Agreement with a disqualification requirement. Please don’t
shoot the messenger – I am “old school”. The folks doing this are calling
it “little C” and have only recently begun to see issues with this. We are
looking for insight from other communities that may have struggled with
this AND we are looking for some speakers on this topic.
Any help from this group would be sooo appreciated!
Very truly,
Bobbie Batley
