To:     Uniform Law Commission Drafting Committee for the
Collaborative Law Act
CC:      Observers
From: Andrew Schepard, Reporter
Re:     Overview of November 2008 Meeting
Date: November 3, 2008
Introduction
This memorandum summarizes what I see as the key issues for discussion and
resolution at the Committee's November 2008 meeting.
We will be considering revisions to the Collaborative Law Act (Second Proposed
Draft 2008) (hereinafter, CLA or Act) considered by the Uniform Law Commission
at the First Reading of the Act in July 2008. I have not prepared a complete new draft of
the Act because there are still major unresolved policy questions new or raised anew by
the comments at the First Reading.
With the able assistance of many of you, my students and I have tried to distill the
major outstanding issues to enable the Committee to systematically resolve them at the
November meeting. If that goal is achieved, I plan to produce a complete new draft of the
Act by the end of the year. I will then circulate it to the Committee via e-mail for
comment. Hopefully, we can come to our spring, 2009 meeting with a complete draft of
both the Act and commentary that the Committee can endorse for review by the Style
Committee and for Second Reading.
Enclosures and Previous Distribution
Enclosed are:
(1) Another copy of the First Reading Draft
(2) A series of short memoranda from me or my law students which describes the
key issues we believe should be resolved at our November meeting with
background information, analysis and recommendations.
