Live Blog from SEALS

Sarah Cole can clean you off the tennis court–here’s talking to you Michael Moffitt…

Okay, now that I have your attention, let’s turn to how I know this. I am attending SEALS for the first time and I want to start by saying–wow–I should have been going to this all along! Great location, much fun, and…most importantly, a really relaxed environment for free flowing conversation. The “discussion” format spreads over 3 hours and allows a whole bunch of people to talk briefly. The rest of us sit around the table and listen and participate–it is much more interactive then the typical “present and discuss” format at other conferences. This fits well with the entire sense of the conference where–even as we change from our bathing suits to run into a session–the whole atmosphere is casual.

I’ll blog separately about the mandatory arbitration panel but let me note two key ADR people accomplishments–one, Michael Green from Texas A & M was just elected to the Board of Trustees of SEALS for a three-year term. And, in a nail-biter, Sarah Cole and Maureen Weston were the doubles champions at the tennis tournament this morning! Congrats to all!!!

  1. If only that were true! Excuses like “I have a broken leg” don’t fly with me, mister. Maybe in Seattle??
