If you had asked me five years ago if I could ever foresee myself as the President of the San Luis Obispo Bar Association, I would have most probably laughed. In my final year of law school, I became the class vice-president out of financial necessity. In exchange for service as vice-president, I was provided with free tuition. At the time my position really meant that I was the party planner and social director. It made good sense to me at the time. When I came to San Luis Obispo in 1986, I did not take any interest in the Bar Association in that I was trying to become comfortable with the practice of the law and acclimating myself to a new area. With that being said, at the time I did not know what the Bar Association did, and I clearly did not know what a wonderful group of people repeatedly come together to provide services to our members and to the public.

Seeking to know one’s case thoroughly and practicing objectivity are crucial factors for attorneys whose clients place so much trust in them to be knowledgeable and lead them in making good decisions when negotiations and mediation take place. Here are ten suggestions to help in this respect:
1. When in Mediation or Negotiation, Listen Closely and Then Listen Some More:
We are afraid to listen. We don’t want to hear from the other side. They will try to tell us why their case is strong and ours is weak. It seems safer and easier to avoid knowing what they will present. If we don’t hear it or see it, it won’t exist. This is exactly the opposite approach to take. The more we understand about the other side the better we are able to grasp the entire picture and see clearly the landscape that must be negotiated.
