children are examined. As he switched from contentious litigation for the first 35 or so years of his practice to doing some 500 family collaborative law cases in the last 10 to 15 years, Glassman’s horizons altered drastically Colleagues say he was a pioneer in using the legal method and in fostering its wider use. Retiring from the firm he founded in 2018 and moving to Georgia to be with his daughter and granddaughter, Glassman proceeded to pick up where he left off. The retired barrister took a class at Emory’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. He subsequently met its director, who asked him if he’d be interested in teaching a law class. “Don’t Hate, Collaborate,” a course in collaborative law, was born, debuting to good reviews. Glassman planned another this fall that is shaping up to be double the size of his spring class. While Glassman used collaborative methods in divorce cases, he said it’s creeping into other kinds of civil disputes. “It’s particularly used in cases where there will be a continuing relationship between the disputants” is how he puts it. “Say it’s a dispute between a university and faculty member, or an employer-employee type of thing.” Glassman has had other crown jewels in his career, such as arranging the George Forman and Ken Norton 1974 heavyweight fight in Venezuela, (the first such event staged in that country) but now focuses on furthering collaboration. Not content simply showcasing the concept at various legal forums and conferences, he plans to work with the Georgia collaborative group toward getting a statute on the books here. He hopes it resonates with lawmakers as it did with those in his first Emory class last spring. “It was brand new to people. They hadn’t heard about it and thought it made a lot of sense.” Our assisted living is accredited for two reasons. You.
