A Time to Get Together: A Lawyer’s Role in Mediation
$65.00Author: Sid Kobewka
This paper discusses both evaluative mediation and interest based mediation. It also explores how a lawyer’s role in mediation differs from that in litigation, requiring a shift in attitude from an adversarial approach to a mutual problem solving approach.
The paper discusses how to prepare for mediation and draft a mediation brief; it also provides practical tools, including a mediation plan template and a sample issues/interests worksheet.
This paper is part of a collection presented at LESA’s Alternative Dispute Resolution program in Calgary on February 19, 2020 and in Edmonton on February 25, 2020.

Accounting: The Personal Representative’s Duty and What Must Be Provided
$55.00The personal representative’s duty to account to those interested in an estate is central to that role, yet it is often poorly understood. This paper examines that duty to account so that lawyers can better prepare personal representatives for their role. It discusses forms of accounts, and provides examples of disbursements and receipts of capital and income. It also reviews types of accounting, including informal accounting, formal accounting, and applications to dispense with formal accounting. Additional accounting considerations for personal representatives are also discussed. The paper includes, as appendices, a sample clause for a retainer letter, a sample inventory of property and debts (Schedule 5), and a sample estate accounting financial statement.
This paper is part of a collection presented at LESA’s Estate Administration Fundamentals seminar held in Edmonton on November 30, 2016 and in Calgary on December 7, 2016.
