Extremely happy to see Professor Menkel-Menkel blogging. She is my favorite ADR scholar. She carries most of the intellectual laboring oar for the entire profession! Thanks for introducing her as a guest blogger. I (and I’m sure many others) are hoping she’ll have so much fun she’ll start her own blog! Best, Vickie

This is exciting news indeed for professional mediators (and bloggers) like me who are avid readers of Professor Menkel-Meadow’s impressive body of work. Thanks for bringing on board this month this inspiring pioneer in the ADR field. I’ll be looking forward to her contributions.
Best wishes,
Diane Levin
P.S. If you’re counting votes, I’d like to second Vickie Pynchon’s motion that the Professor start her own blog!
