Mediation / Mediator - Legal Podcast
Listen to Lamb McErlane PC attorney James Sargent & George Zumbano discuss the details of Mediation.
· Mediation is voluntary: mediation occurs by agreement of the parties to a dispute or lawsuit.
· Mediation is confidential and provides the parties with a private way to resolve disputes.
· Mediation also is without prejudice; no admissions; no testimony about proceedings.
· Mediation is a collaborative process as opposed to an adversarial process, such as litigation or arbitration.
· Mediation allows assistance of an acceptable, trusted, impartial third party who works to assist the disputing parties to reach a mutually acceptable settlement of their differences
· Mediation does not end with someone making the decision for you.
· It’s not like arbitration––where the arbitrators (usually 1 or 3)––hear the dispute and then tell you how the dispute is resolved.
· It is not like going to trial where the Judge or jury tells you how the dispute is resolved.
· In mediation you and your adversary––the person with whom you have the dispute––have to come up with the solution that you both can accept.
· If no agreement at the end of mediation then you go back to court.
