Brigitte's Story
Brigitte is from Evanston and Chicago, Illinois. Brigitte's schools include Dickinson High School,Swarthmore College (BA in religion and German, then the University of Iowa (starting on a degree in Educational Measurement and Statistics while she worked at American College Testing on the ACT test.) Brigitte then went to the University of Chicago Law School and since then has been a lawyer, first at big firms and then, starting in 1993, at her own firm, focusing on family law issues.

in), then I worked at ETS (on the German GRE exam, among others), while he worked on his PhD. We moved to Iowa City where he taught and I worked at ACT. We have three children (32, 30, and 26). Two live near us; one is in California. I have worked hard to build a professional practice that focuses on the more constructive side of the law: I was one of the people who brought Collaborative Law to Illinois and started the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois. I have been a practicing mediator since 1985, when I got trained by the Center for Conflict Resolution, on whose Board I served for many years and for whom I still do trainings and special events. Louis has now retired but I'm continuing to work and enjoy the possibility of helping families through tough times.
