Collaborative Law Training: Level One
Program Description
This new and improved Level One Collaborative Law Training will provide the basic tools to begin a collaborative law practice. This course seeks to present the collaborative process to professionals who are interested in a comprehensive process that creates an environment in which the focus is meeting the needs of both parties and problem solving without litigation. Designed to provide a review of the collaborative process and address the nuts and bolts of how to conduct a collaborative process, this course will also review critical skills needed to engage in the collaborative process. The program will be a combination of lecture and interactive learning.
