Linda Warren Seely
Paradigm Shifts
Yesterday afternoon, Scott Crosby and I along with a woman named Amy Amundsen appeared on a local access TV show in Memphis called 'A Question of Law' hosted by Judge Kay Robilio to discuss Collaborative law process. Cindy Pensoneau was there but did not appear on the show. Amy is the former president of the Memphis Bar Association who became familiar with collaborative process about ten years ago thru her work at the ABA and the Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. She was the 'con' to collaborative practice but I think we won her over!

Creating a Community of Lawyers
This Wednesday, the MidSouth Collaborative Divorce Alliance will meet to adopt a logo, a marketing plan and start working towards creating a new way to divorce in Memphis. I have been working with a couple that originally contacted me about doing a mediation and asked them if they could commit to not litigating. Listening to them work through to the place where they need to be has been interesting.

Law Students Part 1: Linda Warren Seely's first foray into practice of law was a class action and she stayed with legal services. Funding cuts led to a brand new idea of enrolling private attorneys into providing legal services and Linda began recruiting private attorneys to provide legal services for the poor. She tells about her career path in private practice, part-time work as a lawyer during early years of motherhood, and her return to legal services and training lawyers to provide pro bono services.
