Commercial Litigation Academy – Representation in Mediation
Yesterday’s closing program on Representation in Mediation for New York State Bar Association State Commercial Litigation Academy – Bridging the Gap – began in the most extraordinary way.
Our Moderator and co-Presenter, Paul Sarkozi, former Chair of NSYBA’s Commercial and Federal Litigation Section, concluded his Introductory Remarks by breaking into song. He said a good representative, as problem solver, must be creative, go outside the box, and take risks, and then launched into a rendition of a Wicked piece with new lyrics extolling the virtues of mediation and of those representing parties in this process. For those interested, here is a clip of Paul as Broadway star:
I was honored and delighted to share the podium with Paul and with Jeremy Feinberg, speaking from the standpoint of his role as Special Master within New York County’s Supreme Court, and be part of this panel, which was the final piece in a two day Academy that is presented as a collaboration of NYSBA’s Commercial and Federal Litigation Section, New York State Bar Association Young Lawyers Section, and CLE Committee.The Academy gathered a host of legal experts, Commercial Division Judges, Appellate Division Judges, and others to help bridge the gap from law school into practice for newly admitted lawyers, or any others interested in this learning opportunity.
