(Power by Michael Nagel)

Thanks to Personal Injury Law Roundup No. 39 for mentioning our piece on the persuasive power of the WGA Strike Video.

Although I mediated many cases as a litigator and trial lawyer, it wasn't until I began serving as a mediator that I realized how much trial attorneys and mediators have in common.  

Yes, yes, I know -- trial lawyers are trained assassins and mediators are neutral facilitators of negotiated resolutions.  And yet we both use the power of persuasion to assist us in "selling" our wares to our respective audiences -- trial lawyers to juries and mediators to the disputants and their counsel.

I'm a regular reader of trial blogs for this reason and hope that trial attorneys and mediators will continue having a dialogue about those matters that are of common interest to them.

Nice roundup guys and thanks again for including me!
