Mediation

What are the essential features of mediation?

  • it is a voluntary process
  • it is intended to resolve disputes in the early stage of disagreement
  • an impartial mediator facilitates the meeting
  • the goal: a mutually agreeable solution for both parties
  • once a resolution is reached, a legally binding agreement is written
  • a "shepherd" is assigned to help ensure implementation of the agreement
