I attended Pauline’s program yesterday. It was fantastic. Not only did we learn
new tools, we were inspired to move forward. Pauline has a “Yes You Can”
attitude that permeates her presentations. Our attendees had various skills and
experiences, including one person who has never been trained. She was smart
enough to seize the moment to take a day to learn from Pauline. I think that
very fertile seeds were planted yesterday and our entire Collaborative
community in Florida is going to thrive as a result.

Subject: Re: [CollabLaw] Ideas for Advanced Symposium Training in NM
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,
Bobbie Batley

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
