Letter to the Globe & Mail
September 20, 2010Thank you . . .

We are truly grateful. The world is a wonderful place because of people like you."
Book Excerpt
"Why write this book? . . . . it would be as ridiculous to say to a client or another lawyer, "I don't like to mediate" or "I don't believe in ADR" as it would to advertise that you don't believe in cross-examination, do not like to do discoveries, or do not feel comfortable with legal research!" The skills involved in a good representation of a client have come to include negotiation and mediation skills . . . . Learning and practicing these skills are important to the well-trained litigator"
PublicationsAs seen in the wild
During a trip to East Africa, we visited a Rwandan national park and were lucky enough to be able to observe a troup of gorillas as they went about their daily life.
Suddenly conflict broke out which required mediation!
