For trainings through Collaborative Training Solutions, we let people know
that while they get a certificate of attendance, nobody is certified. Because
people register from various venues, training participants are directed to
their particular state to inquire about certification requirements (if any).
Our "home state", Maryland, does not have a certification.

The issue of certification has long been discussed (debated) within the

Subject: [CollabLaw] certification
Hi all- I just received another call asking me about becoming "certified"
in collaborative practice. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such
thing. In the States, Bar Associations are in the "certification business,"
and they are quite prickly about anyone calling themselves a certified
anything unless they have passed a test and paid a bunch of money. Be
careful about what you are putting on your letterheads and any advertising
you might do unless your jurisdictions have different rules. If this
differs elsewhere, I'd love to know.
Regards,
Sherri
