PROGRAM OUTLINE
This program is designed for those who wish to practice Collaborative Family Law. We have divided the Collaborative Family Law course into 2 Levels:
- Level I (2 days) serves 2 purposes. It offers both theory and process training for lawyers who wish to add Collaborative Family Law to their practice.
- Level II (3 days) offers the necessary skills to carry out the theory.
LEVEL I - THEORY AND PROCESS TRAINING
May 11 & 14, 2004
OBJECTIVES OF LEVEL I
Our objectives in Level I are to help you:
- understand the key principles of interest-based bargaining;
- understand the differences between Collaborative Family Law and other dispute resolution alternatives;
- acquire sufficient knowledge about the professional and ethical requirements that distinguish this type of practice; and
- learn the typical steps in a Collaborative Family Law case.
METHODOLOGY
The material is taught through short lectures, demonstrations, role-plays, case studies and group discussions. We believe that the most effective way to learn is to be involved actively in the exercises, discussions and especially the role-plays. Procedures that sound easy conceptually often prove quite challenging upon application.
LEVEL II - SKILL BUILDING
June 24 - 26, 2004
OBJECTIVES OF LEVEL II
Our objectives in Level II are to ensure that you:
- acquire the communication skills necessary to model constructive problem solving
- practice the various steps in an interest-based Collaborative Law Model
- learn when and how to partner with other professionals to assist the Collaborative Team, including the "rules of engagement"
- screen for appropriateness, including power imbalances and domestic violence
- develop strategies for dealing with impasses
- draft documents to maintain collaborative communication
- anticipate and avoid ethical dilemmas
METHODOLOGY
This course follows a comprehensive case from beginning to completion with short lectures, demonstrations, role-plays, and coaching feedback. Participants will role-play the various steps in a collaborative case and then draft an agreement following the Collaborative Model.
At the completion of the 5 day program participants who choose to join the Ontario Collaborative Law Association, will have completed the training requirements for the Collaborative Family Law Roster.
We look forward to sharing this learning experience with you, and we hope you will find it challenging, rewarding and enjoyable.
