The Practice of Collaborative Law




What do lawyers learn in law school? 
They learn to win... 

What makes Collaborative Lawyers different?  
They start - by thinking about how to solve problems.



The Who, What, When, Why and How Collaborative Law works. 




Collaborative Lawyers, like Lincoln, 163 years ago, Discourage litigation. They Persuade neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser -- in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker these lawyer's have a superior opportunity of being  good men and women. There will still be business enough.
adapted from--July 1, 1850  Notes for a Law Lecture by Abraham Lincoln
