This workshop has proven to be a rare opportunity for anyone who is concerned about dying, whose death is immanent, or who knows anyone close to dying, to explore feelings, thoughts and beliefs about death in an innovative way. Participants in the pilot sessions in 2010 gained working knowledge of the means to prepare for and deal with the death of loved ones, and how to “make friends with death in a safe, supportive community atmosphere.”</span><br><br><span style="color: #751926;"><strong><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">The Community Served</span></strong></span><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">The program was designed to be inter-generational and cross cultural. Versions have been customized for specific communities, e.g. over 50's, specific religious affiliations, people with terminal diagnosis, adult children with aging parents, green groups, spiritual communities, small communities interested in a "natural" at home death experience, as well as medical doctors and nurses, and young adults. </span><br><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">User-friendly Documents </span><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">The initiating workshops were held in Ulster County, New York, immediately north of NYC, and included the distribution of user-friendly documents and suggestions for how to find legal assistance.</span><br><br><span style="color: #751926;"><strong><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Next Steps</span></strong></span><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">David Basch of The Regis Group. Inc. is currently working with the founder, Diana Freid, in developing the program for adaption in communities throughout the region and around the nation.</span><br><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">“We can all benefit from this innovative approach to a tough subject not far from all of us at all times,” said David Bash.</span><br><br><span style="color: #751926;"><strong><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">A Rare Opportunity</span></strong></span><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">This is a rare opportunity for readers of The Agenda to support a venture of significant need by helping to organize placement in your own communities.</span><br><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">For more information please contact us at toll free at 1-800-97-3447 or send us an email at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">[email protected]</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> <strong> </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #660000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A:</span> </strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">The ease of acquiring and conveying information has made a significant change to the practice of law. Rather than having to maintain an extensive library of legal publications and treatises, one can access the same and more via the internet. Secondly, the speed with which one can communicate with others is astounding. When I began practicing law over 35 years ago, other than a telephone exchange, the only means of communicating a thought or position, whether to the client or to an opposing attorney, was by mail. That was accelerated by the facsimile machine, and now email gives instantaneous contact.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> <strong> </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #84333d;"><strong>Q: What changes have been the most troubling to you?</strong></span><strong><br></strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #851e20; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A:</span> </strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">In some regards I see a lack of civility. This is not always the case and in fact in the environment in which I operate (mostly on a localized level) the legal professionals with whom I deal are generally gracious. However, I am seeing more occasions that an “ends justifies the means” approach is adopted. Secondly, the internet is our best friend and our worst enemy. All too often lay persons feel they can handle their own legal matters without the assistance of an attorney. (See, for example, legalzoom.com) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #84333d; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Q: How will globalization affect your professional area in the near term?</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span> </strong> </span><span style="color: #660000;"> </span> Aside from the matter of access to information and communication, I do not believe “globalization” will impact my practice. Again, my practice is more local.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #84333d; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Q: What significant challenges might be anticipated in your professional area in the next few years? </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #851e20;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A:</span> </strong></span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">I fear society will continue to erode the sense of value the public feels it receives from competent legal advice. As mentioned above, since so much information is available to a computer user, some of which information may be in error, people will avoid utilizing an attorney in situations that require one. On the other hand, my profession has to figure out a way to make access to such advice more affordable. Sadly, legal service has gotten too expensive for the ordinary person or family.</span>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #84333d;"><strong>Q: What are the greatest challenges confronting young professionals in Western culture today?</strong><strong> </strong></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #851e20; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A:</span> </strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">My comment perhaps is not much different from most professions. The older I get the more I realize the irreplaceable value of experience. Law schools continue to churn out new attorneys, all of whom believe they are a gift to society (comes with the narcissistic territory), but they have no idea truly <em>how</em> to advise their clients, complete with nuances and credible arguments.</span></div>
