I know, you probably didn't miss me. I just finished a long weekend as a faculty member for a mediation seminar at Washington University Law School in St. Louis, where I serve as an adjunct professor. To take the seminar, participants had to have prior mediation experience, and I think I learned as much (or more) from them as they did from me.

Though I participated as a coach for the multiple mediation sessions, and contributed throughout the program, my primary segment of the program was entitled "Marketing Your Mediation Practice" and had to be given at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday because in Missouri, "marketing" does not qualify for CLE credit. However, if I would have titled it "How to Ethically Market Your Mediation Practice," it would have qualified. How silly.
