In today’s litigious society the courts are backlogged with lawsuits, causing prolonged periods of time for litigants to receive adjudication of their case brought before the court.
Mediation as a form of alternative dispute resolution is often considered and ordered by the court prior to setting a trial date, affording litigants with an opportunity to expedite resolution of their dispute without further need of court involvement. Potentially reducing costs to settle a dispute between disputants.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution, which allows parties in dispute to come together with the assistance of an unbiased third party neutral known as a mediator to facilitate a process for the parties to mutually come to an agreement to settle their dispute. The process of mediation permits disputing parties to participate openly with the mediator, while maintaining control of their determinations.
The mediator’s role is not to make decisions or to coerce the parties to accept offers of settlement. The mediator’s role is to utilize competencies as a neutral and impartial third party, assisting the parties in dispute to formulate their own decisions by distributing essential information, clarifying concerns, aiding with the exploration of alternative solutions, and signifying potential compromises.
The Benefits of Mediation
Mediation offers many benefits to parties in dispute, such as:
Costs considerably less than litigating in court
Takes less time to reach an equitable resolution, thereby reducing prolonged trepidation, doubt, and animosity of a court proceeding
Mediation sessions are confidential, allowing disputants the freedom to openly express their positions
The parties mutually determine and formulate a settlement agreement between them, compared to the dispute being decided by a judge or a jury selected from a public jury pool
If the parties do not reach an agreement to settle their dispute the parties do not lose their right to litigate in court
