Mediation is facilitated negotiation.
Mediation involves the selection of a third party, neutral, i.e., a Mediator, to assist the parties to a dispute to create a solution and settlement for their dispute. Mediators do not render decisions. They facilitate negotiation and settlement. Private mediation results from an agreement to mediate entered into before or after the dispute arises and may involve disputes which are not the subject of litigation. Court Annexed Mediation is conducted pursuant to a Mediation Rule of a court and is limited to disputes which are the subject of litigation pending before that court.
