Led by Harris Weinberg

At Golden Gate University
536 Mission Street, Room 217
San Francisco

Please join us for another exciting Roundtable on Tuesday, June 11th. In focusing a discussion on the subject of the difficult lawyer, Harris Weinberg will ask the participants to come prepared to discuss the following:

What constitutes a “difficult” lawyer? From whose perspective, by whose definition and according to whose needs?

What if that “difficult” personae is part of the lawyer’s strategy, or at the client’s behest?

How does the lawyer being difficult affect the mediator’s role, goal or obligation?

If the mediator has come to think of the lawyer as difficult, what are the odds that the lawyer feels likewise toward the mediator?

Harris is a full-time mediator affiliated with the American Arbitration Association. He has mediated some 2,000 disputes involving all types of subject matter, and has lectured and trained extensively, both in the United States and abroad.

There is no charge for this event and members may bring guests. Coffee, juice, pastries, and fruit will be served. To RSVP, please contact The Society’s administrator Maureen Newman, by e-mail at mnewman@ggu.edu or by phone at (415) 515-5091.n
