I received a warm welcome at the Rosenberg Rotary Club on Wednesday, September 7, 2017. Hats off to this amazing Club in its work to eradicate polio worldwide and in its humanitarian efforts to help over 150 families who lost or had damage done to their homes along the Brazos River due to Hurricane Harvey.

My remarks were about my calling as a collaborative divorce attorney, such calling being found in the ashes of polio and paralysis. As of this date due to Rotary’s Polio Plus Campaign there are only 10 reported cases of polio in the World, which number is down from 27 this time last year.

I give thanks to Billy Guerrero, President of the Club for inviting me to speak.

At the Pasadena South Rotary Club, June 7, 2017

June 8, 2017 by Jack Emmott Leave a Comment

On Wednesday, June 7, 2017, I had the pleasure of speaking to members of the Pasadena South Rotary Club. My presentation was entitled Rotary’s Polio Plus Campaign and the Collaborative Law Process: Therapeutic Healing for the World.

As of April 2017 there were only five cases of polio in the World limited to Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is in sharp contrast to the 48,000 cases in America when I had polio in 1954. The work that over 5,000 Collaborative Professionals do in 27 countries around the globe will never prevent conflict as Rotary eliminates polio. However, conflict in relationships with others can be resolved in a peaceable, client-centered, private and interest-based resolution process. Children around the world will be less victimized by adversarial divorce. Prevention from harm and healing of relationships go hand in hand.

Imagine a world in which no child knows what polio is.

I dream of a world in which peaceable resolution of interpersonal conflict is selected before resort to adversarial litigation.
