Upcoming WWFF Events
The Will Work For Food programs are presented primarily by and for attorneys, mediators and arbitrators. Each Thursday at 8am Pacific an amazing colleague joins us to give a webinar presentation about a timely topic. These programs are free. You can join us for all or one. We don’t ask you to pay for these invaluable webinars, instead we hope that you’ll make a donation of any size to your local food bank.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
We’re frequently asked if Continuing Education Credits/Units are available. Will Work For Food’s “The New Possibilities Hour” presentations are not pre-approved for CE. However, if you’d like a Certificate of Attendance to self-submit an application to your chosen licensing organization, please email Natalie with your request at Natalie@WillWorkForFood.news with your complete name as well as the name and date of the program you attended.
Mediation: Making the Practice of Law Even More Noble
Mediation is more than the transfer of cases from the courtroom to the conference table. It requires a change in the mindset of attorneys from advocates, trained to impeach and defeat their opponent, to peacemakers, whose goal is to find common ground and peaceful resolution among the parties. Mediators are trained to be problem-solvers, harmonizers, and peacemakers, the healers – not the promoters – of conflict. Indeed, mediation is the highest calling in the legal profession because it places lawyers on the pedestal with the other healing ministries.
