Hello,

Every few weeks I look through the new members for interesting people. Welcome to the site. I'd like to introduce myself and see if you'd like to begin communication. I am very interested in ADR, mediation, negotiation, human rights and politics from a legal and consultancy standpoint. It seems we have some common interests and may be able to help/learn from each other.

Thanks for your time,
Chris LeGore
