Rachel Felbeck, JD; Malcolm McCollam, JD and J. Mark Weiss, JD
(90-minute)

Audio Sample:



Lawyers frequently struggle with the role of advocacy in the Collaborative process. Many understand the "why" for their new role, but struggle with the "how" and the "what." This workshop takes participants on an exploration of what it means to be a Collaborative lawyer, looking both at the external purpose for advocacy and at internal values and fears concerning advocacy in the Collaborative process. It also examines how adversarial advocacy might help or hinder the Collaborative process. Further, this workshop helps participants explore the differences between traditional advocacy and Collaborative advocacy and the impact each may have on the process.
