War or Peace is a must-read for anyone contemplating divorce. Everyone has heard the horror stories; few know the sure-fire way to avoid them. In War or Peace, Joryn Jenkins, a 34-year trial attorney, describes how personal choices impact how marriages end: with dignity and self-respect, or with hatred and virtual bloodshed. This book illustrates how to avoid the lasting effects of the destruction caused by the divorce court process. Joryn reveals the alternatives, recounting actual events as she witnessed them unfold, both the divorce wars fought in the courtroom, as well as the peaceful divorces negotiated at the conference table.

Beginning with the story of her own parents’ divorce, in I Never Saw My Father Again, Joryn Jenkins, a 35-year divorce attorney, illustrates with true stories how personal choices impact how people end their marriages: with dignity and self-respect, or with hatred and virtual bloodshed. Like War or Peace, Joryn’s first book about the long lasting effects of the traditional courtroom divorce, I Never Saw My Father Again is a must-read for anyone contemplating divorce. Everyone has heard the horror stories; few know how to avoid them. In both books, Joryn demonstrates how to avoid the lasting effects of the destruction caused by the divorce court process, recounting actual events as she witnessed them unfold, both the divorce wars fought in the courtroom, as well as the peaceful divorces negotiated at the conference table, and revealing the alternatives, so that the lay reader can make his own informed choices.

I Never Saw My Father Again: The Divorce Court Effect

Having already written two books describing and illustrating the differences between the traditional courtroom divorce and the collaborative approach to dissolving a marriage, in A Free Divorce Handbook, Joryn Jenkins, a 35-year veteran attorney, has now turned her hand to exploring the issues raised and the problems addressed when a busy professional launches a collaborative divorce pro bono project. Having spent the last three years undertaking such a venture from scratch, she now shares the stories of her clients, the processes and procedures necessary to ensure success, and the forms and sample documents created by the project’s collaborative teams so that you don’t have to. Finally, a book that explains, not just the many reasons why such a project makes sense, but also how to establish such a collaborative services organization, one step at a time.

This inspiring anthology of essays, philosophies, and stories about real people introduces readers to the groundbreaking topic of collaborative divorce, and to the work of the mental health professionals who actively facilitate and counsel such matters. The material exposes readers to the perspectives of these authors, considered to be among the most knowledgeable in their field. The book also examines the negotiating techniques employed in this highly disruptive yet constructive divorce process, such as active listening, effective communicating, brain-storming, problem-solving, and cooperative co-parenting, as well as the resulting elimination of stress’s harmful impact on divorce-related decision-making. The Divorce Puzzle is designed to promote both thoughtful consideration of the collaborative process by spouses contemplating divorce, as well as lively classroom discussion, making it an excellent choice for seminar level courses.

Managing the business of practicing law should be as important to the lawyer as the practice of law itself. It is pivotal to the success or failure of a law practice. The lawyer who considers hanging his own shingle cannot appreciate all of the moving parts involved in managing a profitable law practice until he has actually done it. When you do venture out, on your own or in a partnership with others, you soon realize that there is much more to the business of practicing law than you ever expected. Everything about your law firm affects the most important asset that your law firm owns: the attorney/client relationship. In From Lawyer to Law Firm, we address the commercial aspects of practicing law that are unique to a law firm. During our combined 70+ years in the legal profession, we have both experienced situations which may seem unbelievable. No matter where you are in your legal career, Liz and Joryn offer you guidance and insights based on those experiences that will help to ensure success for both you and your law firm.
