Mediation is a process in which a neutral, called a mediator, assists the parties in exploring issues in the case. The mediator facilitates discussion between counsel and parties, and guides the parties toward finding their own solutions to the dispute. In traditional mediation the mediator does not make a decision, a court reporter is not present, and there are no rules of evidence which control the process, with the exception of a rule concerning confidentiality.( )

I can think of many cases where I had deep empathy with both people, and could see both their sides. I had a case where the marriage was breaking up because the woman was a lesbian. I empathized with the husband, Allen, who, in his early 50�s had to leave his beautiful house. He had to rethink his whole life with Marge, in light of these changes in her outlook. He had believed he�d had an OK marriage. He didn�t want a new life, but the old one had been snatched from him.

A mediation session is private and confidential. It is normally held in a private office or meeting room and no public record is made of the proceedings. If no settlement is reached any statements during the proceedings are inadmissible as evidence in any subsequent litigation.

Brad Daley Mediation => Though parties begin litigation with the expectation of winning, rarely is a case a 'slam dunk' winner. Even "slam dunk winners" have downside risks for both plaintiff and defendant, getting to the point of judgement will likely be extremely expensive in terms of cash outlay, and impact upon the party's emotional, personal and business life. Many difficult and painful questions arise: How much is trial going to cost? What are my realistic chances of success? How do I stop my stomach from churning? Eventually, it dawns on almost every party that it would be nice to settle the dispute before trial. Since 95% of all lawsuits settle before trial, how does one resolve the dispute sooner than later?

Select a mediator who has some familiarity with the area of law of your dispute (i.e., homeowners associations, landlord/tenant, business practices, construction disputes, family law, etc.) and someone in your geographic area. Ask the mediator what his or her fees are, and how much time he or she will allocate to your dispute. A good mediator will commit as much time as is necessary to help you resolve your dispute.
Alternatives to litigation and trial are referred to as Alternative Dispute Resolution, or ADR, and include arbitration, court settlement conferences and mediation, among others.
