You Say Tomato; I Say Tomahto: Strategies For Enhancing Planner/Attorney Collaboration
Garvey Schubert BarerPortland, OR
Free event
Planners and attorneys have different worldviews and come from different professional traditions. These differences can lead to additional costs and delay the implementation of desired outcomes, if they are not understood and managed. Join a discussion of how to achieve detente between the professions. The speakers will share examples and derive lessons about the principles that will lead to more effective working relationships between attorneys and planners. Gain a better understanding of the differences of language, philosophy, training and focus that can lead to conflict or misunderstandings between the attorney and the planner, in a public or private setting. Discuss strategies for bridging the gap between the professions and achieving an efficient and effective working relationship. Examples will be drawn from the work experience of the panelists, and be relevant to both the public sector and private sector planner's experience. Public examples will include regulatory efforts and project review; private examples will focus on the applicant's team in the approval process; additional examples will address attorneys and planners working together in litigation settings. Discuss the Oregon State Bar restricting the unauthorized practice of law and its implications for planners.
