The Process
Features of mediation:
- Informal Process
- Participants can make opening statements
- Participants can set ground rules if they wish
- Not limited by rules of evidence or objections as in court
- Participants make all decisions
I use a facilitative process in mediation, which means that I strive to increase clarity, communication, analysis and creativity while working to remove barriers to resolution. Please read my article on the benefits of facilitative mediation:
