It's Friday and the last day of a gruelling 3 day training session. My mind is mash potato and my emotion is spaghetti. I sit with my computer to the corner of the conference room, relegated here by plug access. Not totally isolated since I'm sitting next to two other people. But these past 3 days has been a constant intellectual and emotional battle against myself, against the purpose of this course, and against the purpose for why these other lawyers are here as well. We are being trained in mediation. It's quickly occurring to me that divorce mediation is a business practice in counseling and lawyering by lawyers who aren't counselors and are forbidden to act as lawyers.
