What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that empowers parties to solve problems without involving the court. During mediation, parties meet with a mediator who leads discussions about the issues at hand. With the mediator’s support, parties identify an acceptable remedy and sign a settlement or a memorandum.What Are The Benefits Of Mediation?
Mediation can be an attractive alternative to litigation because:
- Mediation allows parties to decide the outcome of the dispute rather than giving control to a judge.
- Information shared in mediation sessions remains private, whereas courtroom testimony may be made public.
- While parties need to follow the court’s schedule to litigate matters, mediation sessions are arranged to suit each party’s calendar.
- Mediating disputes is often less expensive than litigating matters because parties are not responsible for paying court fees and separate attorney’s fees.
These are just a few of the many benefits associated with this approach.
