Clark County Association of Mediators Proposal
The Clark County Association of Mediators has a proposal before the judiciary to make mediation mandatory for dissolution cases.
I will be meeting with Judge Poyfair, Meredith McKell Graff, and Mary Hatzenbeler, the two mediators behind the proposal, on July 29.
The judiciary would like the input of the Clark County Bar Association Family Law Section. The FLS doesn't have a meeting scheduled until September so I will be interviewing members of the FLS prior to July 29 so I can adequately represent the FLS at the meeting.
If you would like a copy of the proposal please let me know. If you have thoughts on this issue, please contact me directly.

FLS SUMMER MEETING
Did you really think the FLS wouldn't have a meeting all summer?
I'd like to invite the FLS to a Clark County wine tasting adventure on Saturday, July 24, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. until about 4:00 p.m.
I'll rent a chauffeured bus that will hold everyone who RSVP's. We'll go to 3-4 wineries depending on the time. Typically the tastings and a tour are free for larger groups. We'll stop to have a catered lunch or lunch at a winery. These details will be better worked out when I have a head count. I am hoping to keep the cost from $50.00 - $100.00 per person.
The wineries will most likely include Bethany, Rusty Grape, and Three Brothers. I will send a detailed itinerary to those who RSVP yes prior to the trip.
Please RSVP by July 9. Thanks!

FLS JUNE MEETING
The 2009-2010 CCBA FLS final meeting was on June 10, 2010 at Tommy O’s. The topic discussed was sex addiction and if it affects parenting. Dr. Kirk Johnson of the Vancouver Guidance Clinic and Maggie Holbrook of the Vancouver Police Department Cyber Crimes Unit were the presenters and they made an already interesting topic quite entertaining.
Since I have been President for one year, I chose to finish the two year term and remain the President for the 2010-2011 year. I am excited to continue as President and look forward to finishing the projects I started. Our new Secretary is Robin Krane and our new Treasurer is Laura Mancuso.
High on the agenda were discussions regarding a Family Law Annex attorney workroom. The FLS formed a subcommittee to look into the anticipated cost of a workroom with a computer and relevant software. If you have a computer, printer, or software to donate, please let me know. Once we have a general idea of the cost the FLS will vote on whether or not to use our funds for the workroom.
In case you didn’t read my previous column, Judge Rulli has been selected as Jurist of the Year by the Washington State Bar Family Law Section. Judge Rulli was recognized at the WSBA Family Law Section Mid Year CLE luncheon on June 19th, 2010. This award recognizes his 18 years on the bench, depth of knowledge and expertise in family law and his achievement at the primary architect of the Clark County Drug Court, a nationally recognized model.
If you are not a member of the CCBA FLS, you will not be able to vote next year! To be a member of the CCBA FLS you must be a member of the CCBA. The CCBA membership fee is $125.00 and the FLS membership fee is $25.00. The application forms will be included in the August 2010 newsletter.
One big issue for next year is our potential meeting location. If anyone has locations suggestions or topic ideas, please let me know. I will continue to update the FLS blog over the summer so keep checking in!
