Mediation is MUCH less costly than the alternative of litigation. No one loses in a mediation, whether the parties come to agreement or not. Sessions usually last 2-3 hours. Support for these services is provided in part by grants from the Massachusetts Bar Foundation and the Boston Bar Foundation. At the Community Dispute Settlement Center we provide gay-sensitive, impartial, trained mediators to help gay and lesbian disputants reach a mutually acceptable solution in a confidential atmosphere.
