"I Wish I Hadn't Said That"

A Day in Court

A Day in Court

I was in court recently supporting a friend whose family member is involved in litigation over a serious civil matter. The matter has been ongoing for a long time. At the end of the trial, in a few weeks or months, the judge will have to decide what happens next in their lives. His judgment will depend upon his interpretation of the applicable law and the conclusions he draws from the evidence provided by the witnesses. Of course, ten years later it was obviously difficult… Continue

Do any of you know what it stands for?sands-of-time

WAIT = Why Am I Talking?

What a great question ... the kind you should ask yourself often. It's so simple and yet so…

Stew in Your Own Juices

The other day a colleague (I’ll call her Janet) told me she and a co-worker (I’ll call him David) had a heated disagreement about a work matter. Janet went on to say that David called her a few hours after and left a contrite message asking to have a coffee and work things out. She then told me she decided not to reply for a few days to let David “stew in his own juices” for a while. When I asked what she means by that, Janet answered, “I thought I’d just let him feel badly a little longer…

Culture Change in the Family Justice System: a talk to the BC Family Justice Summit

As the pressure for change ramps up, we are talking a lot about “culture change” in the justice system. If we are going to throw this term around, we have to be ready to confront what it really means.

“Culture change” does not mean tinkering with the works (as in, let’s shorten the time period for discoveries or the number of expert witnesses who can be called in a trial). It does not mean “filling the gaps” (as is, let’s add a legal aid worker or an advice…

What got me thinking about this was an article I read last week about how to get your kids to talk. The columnist was on the right track with her suggestion to ask them questions ... but if she had taken our mediation class, she would have thought of even better…
