Bernie Casey

About me:

Why I joined the RNW Board: I was a career litigator in the Washington, D.C. and San Francisco offices of a major law firm. In that capacity, I had many experiences in the ADR field, most particularly in mediation. I was also trained as a mediator at UC Berkeley. AFter retiring in 2007 and moving to Portland, I learned that RNW was the most substantial provider of community mediation services in the state. Being on the board has kept me in touch with meaningful opportunities to serve my new community in a manner consistent with my experience and interests.

My current career: Pro bono legal and mediation services.

What makes Portland the coolest place to live?

Live in: NE Portland

Grew up in Rhode Island with 5 siblings

Children, pets or both? 2 adult sons, 4 grandkids, no pets now but that may change!

Ice cream, gelato or frozen yoghurt? It depends whether I'm being faithful to a doctor recommended low-fat diet. If so, frozen yoghurt, ice cream, gelato in that order. If not, reverse the order!
