Family law is rife with emotion. Michelle Lawless kept that in mind when she built her solo family law practice, after a 19-year tenure at a successful Chicago family law firm. Balancing kindness with efficient processes, Michelle explains how technology, which is usually on the wrong side of the ‘good for mental health' equation, actually makes difficult family matters easier to emotionally handle. It's just a bonus that it keeps her solo venture moving full speed. Key moments:Attorney assisted mediation and collaborative law (05:16)Crafting a kind and effective intake process for family law clients (21:42)“The Daley Center is a daily education”: Building experience in family law (28:26)What Michelle Lawless wants to see changed in the legal profession (39:37) MEMORABLE QUOTES“[Mediation has] been a growing trend…. Clients want an alternative to litigation… Litigation is emotionally difficult. It can be protracted and inefficient [and] incredibly expensive.”“Clients have told me how difficult it was to almost get up the courage to walk into a divorce lawyer's office for a console. Because, physically, it was a manifestation that their marriage was over, and that that was a really difficult step to take…. [Because of this] I was kind of thinking about, ‘are there ways to do Virtual Counsel,' and then boom COVID hit.”“I'm using online forms to capture information that you need in every divorce case but you don't want to keep asking people for, like the names and the ages of their kids and the birth dates….Making things easier on clients was something that I was really looking to do.”“I always prided myself on providing personalized service, and being there for clients, listening to them. Getting back to them quickly, as quickly as I can…. As a solo I think that's even more critical because it's me. I mean, the business is me. So, I need to provide almost… I look at it like a better client experience. Because I am the client experience.

This week on The Podvocate, Emmett and Leanne speak with Cook County Judge Jim Snyder and Workers’ Compensation Arbitrator Deborah Baker to analyze anticipated local changes to legal proceedings due to the COVID-19 online transition. While there are some positive and negative procedural implications of Zoom proceedings, there are also justice concerns. Judge Snyder oversees a Commercial Litigation Docket at the Daley Center in Chicago. Prior to his appointment to the bench, he served as General Counsel of the Illinois Human Rights Commission and has been active in judicial education, teaching peer education classes in Advanced Discovery, Consumer Fraud, and Civil Procedure. Prior to being appointed as an arbitrator, Arbitrator Baker worked for the Illinois Department of Corrections as Assistant Deputy Chief Legal Counsel and Agency Ethics Officer. Arbitrator Baker has also worked as an Illinois Assistant Attorney General and as a civil litigator.

Released Friday, May 31, 2019 - What's in a name? "Urbs in Horto" or as translated from Latin "City in the Garden" is the motto on the seal of the City of Chicago, which nicely ties together the third interview with historian and retired attorney John Swenson. Swenson presents the final and most amazing piece of early Chicago history revealing the details of this ancient place called Chicagoua and the platform mound two-leagues from the Chicagoua Portage, the area's earliest known civic and cultural center some 40 miles from today's downtown Chicago! We visit the mound, twice, and interview Adler Planetarium Astronomer Mark Hammergren regarding the astronomical significance of the mound, and learn some fascinating insights into Chicago's ancient culture and peoples. This brand-new history and discovery grew out of Swenson's passion for horticulture, history, and etymology. His initial dig into Chicago's origin story and the wild allium the city was named for has grown into an entirely new landscape for Chicago history, the City in the Garden and hence the name of our third Episode: "Urbs in Horto?"

Darren and Dr. K. were at the Daley Center rally for Bernie Sanders and were warmed by Feeling The Bern along with a few thousand other supporters! (The brief audio clip from the rally is from the speech by Martese Chism of National Nurses United, which is the largest union & professional association of registered nurses in U.S. history.)  This week: Obama came into office on a wave of hope and change, but that was clearly set aside, almost certainly due to the same Wall Street influence that makes Hillary Clinton a weak candidate today. Bernie Sanders is poised to fulfill Obama's promises, even if the mainstream Democratic party's message is a resounding "No We Can't!"  The podcast ends with Darren's prediction that Iowa will be big day for Bernie. Fingers crossed and... GO BERNIE!!
