We are only now starting to use ADR clauses in our contracts. At least with a clause in the contract, when a dispute arises, ADR is an option the parties will have in mind. For 12 years I lectured at the Orana Community TAFE College at Dubbo. For the most part I taught budding real estate agents the law components of their course. At different times I have taught company law and business law to accountants and management students.
Teaching can be very rewarding but teaching at night is a bit hard on the home life.
In the last year or so I have taken a different tack with adult education by presenting pre-marriage courses. No matter how much I try to discourage young people from marriage they seem to throw themselves into it anyway. I do this for an organisation called Centacare. I only act as a facilitator and not as a marriage counsellor. A little personal history I grew up mainly at Forbes, N.S.W. which is where my mother and father still live.
