I tried to host what I thought was a great CLE event and invited 15 prominent local attorneys. There were maybe six tentative "yes" responses and no responses
from the other nine, with not a single person firmly committed. I ended up postponing the event indefinitely, and I'm not sure I'm going to do it at all.
Lawyers, even good ones, simply do not care about professional development and I'm not going to waste my time putting on an event for them if this is the
interest level. It's the same feeling as having nobody show up to your birthday party.

i have considered taking a mediation course. what do you think about becoming a mediator? after a terrible encounter with a female litigator in her 50s, i want
to be in a less adversarial role.

I think becoming a full-time mediator is pointless because you start to get a reputation as a mediator. The optimal course is either serving as a judge for 20
years and then going to JAMS full-time, or becoming an expert litigator who handles certain types of cases and occasionally gets mediations in those types of
cases. Those are the trajectories I've seen that work; otherwise, you're signing up for circling the drain in your practice.
