More on Mediation
Every dispute is unique to the parties involved. For instance, where sensitive matters are involved, the mediator will keep all information confidential. Matters discussed in mediation are not made part of the court record. Parties participate in a facilitated negotiation process.Each party makes his or her own decision. Mediation works and agreements last because the process is voluntary and client driven. Agreements are contractually binding once signed by the parties. The agreement may become enforceable as a court decree if the parties wish. Throughout the process a party retains the right to have cousel present. The process begins when the parties are ready. Mediation can move at a pace that suits the parties schedules. Mediation costs far less than other forms of dispute resolution, especially litigation.
Mediation can help resolve many types of disputes such as civil rights violations, consumer complaints, neighborhood disagreements, allocation of business or personal finances, elder law issues and disability related complaints. Of course, mediation requires clients to take a certain amount of responsibility for the outcome of his or her case. Each party must come prepared to exchange information regarding the dispute as thoroughly as possible. It is the mediator's job to help the participants find a common ground which they can use to resolve the dispute and reach the higher ground of “win-win” resolution.
