What is Mediation?

Mediation is the process of resolving problems.

The role of the mediator is not to judge or take sides. The mediators role is to facilitate the process and try to keep the doors of conversation open and productive until a mutual agreement can be reached.

Generally speaking, your mediator will have an initial meeting with you, your lawyer and the other party  involved  to obtain basic information and then explain the process of the session(s). Then, you will have a series of joint meetings, or possibly a single meeting in the attempt to resolve your conflict. You may also have separate meetings (caucus) where you and your attorney are in one room and the other party is in another room.

Your mediator will go back and forth with any offers that you might have, and try to negotiate a settlement. If you put together an agreement, the mediator will write the settlement down and submit the agreement to your judge for approval. Judges typically tend to approve mediation agreements.

With the assistance of mediation, you and your party will have the power to make your own decisions, and eliminate the possibility of a judge or jury making the decisions for you. Mediation gives both parties the opportunity to have a positive outcome, where in a courtroom setting only one party will be awarded the ruling or judgment.
