Harry. YES!!! I wonder if, in the early years, the self selection was
stacked that way. We seleceted cases that fit our idea of a collaborative
case. We chose to lititgate the rest. When we were more confident in our
abilities we opened up to taking higher conflict cases. For those of us who
transitioned our practices to collaboration only, litigation is no longer an
option. It is very powerful to say to a client, "I don't offer litigation,
but I will transition you to someone whom I respect that does". It is hard to
imagine that we ever thought that we knew that litigation was a better option
for a client. It is just a choice. Did the clients change or did we? Dave

Subject: [CollabLaw] Reflections on 10 yrs of handling collaborative cases.
Cases are getting harder.
This is admittedly anecdotal. It seems to me in the early years, the
collaborative cases were much easier than today. Now, most of my cases are
very, very challenging. I yearn for a case that is an easy walk in the clover.
Do others find themselves experiencing the same change in the nature of the
cases?
