What is Mediation?

In mediation, a neutral assists parties in reaching a negotiated resolution of a dispute. Mediation allows each side to communicate their views of the conflict to the other side, and to gain a better understanding of how the other side views the problem. That allows the parties themselves to design a solution to the dispute that may be better for both sides than the costs and risks of other methods of conflict resolution, particularly litigation.
