Active Or Inactive?
Briefly

As we all know, just taking a course in civility doesn't mean that bullying lawyers will change their ways. It's akin to putting lipstick on a pig.
Another inactive advantage is that I don't have to take the MCLE-required courses. Those include civility (really? We need to be told how to be civil?)
Many mediators, including me, don't start with a joint session any more, as animosity, hostility, and other unpleasant emotions can derail a mediation.
While it's too late for me to make the choice now for 2025, I weigh the pros and cons of remaining active (after 48 years) or going inactive.
