Mediation provides fast settlement resolution of dispute,
conflict, claim, problem involving a contract, agreement, personal
right, business policy, procedure, process, injury, and/or legal law
issue.
Below is information regarding Mediation and Alternative
Dispute Resolution. It
should be noted that Mediation is not solely limited to dispute
resolution. Mediation
is becoming popular as a planning and communication tool utilized in
forming agreements
and policy which are professionally crafted to help prevent
the occurrence of a
dispute. This is the preventive aspect of mediation.
Mediation
is for both personal and business matters. It is an
alternative to
traditional court litigation and lawsuits.
What Is
Alternative Dispute Resolution, known as ADR?
Alternative
Dispute Resolution ADR, sometimes
know as conflict resolution, is a cost effective and time
efficient settlement
process of resolving private business and personal disagreements,
disputes, problems,
conflicts and rights circumventing traditional lengthy and costly
attorney litigation court trial in securing a structured
settlement. The conflict
resolution process keeps legal matters private between parties,
preserves and improves relationships and creates a
‘win-win’ outcome. Alternative
Dispute Resolution ADR is generally identified as mediation,
arbitration, ombudsman /
ombudsperson and collaborative law.
What Is
Mediation?
Mediation
is an alternative dispute
resolution ADR process whereby the parties are assisted by a
trained and skilled
neutral third party mediator. The Mediator facilitates confidential
communication,
reconciliation and negotiation between the parties to reach a voluntary
and mutually
agreeable resolution and structured settlement. At one time
Mediation was solely
used to settle a dispute or conflict. Today, mediation has a
much wider scope.
Mediation is now used as a preventive measure to ensure that a problem,
dispute or
conflict will not occur. Mediators are utilized in
meetings to facilitate
better communication between the involved parties making sure
everyone's interests are
heard and acknowledged. Having one or two Mediator(s) present in your
meetings will
help create agreements and/or settlements that are well
structured, documented and
satisfy the interests of both parties.
How Is
Mediation Difference From
Attorney Litigation Court Trial?
In Attorney
Litigation Court Trial, the parties retain
a lawyer whose focus is to prepare a law case which will
result in the best decision
for their client by a court judge and/or jury. Often, court litigation
includes an
adversarial approach demeaning the other party rights. In court
litigation you never know
what the outcome will be until the legal case is ruled upon by the
court judge and/or
court jury. There are no guarantees that anyone will come out as the
'victorious win-win
party'. In the final outcome, everyone involved in a court litigation
case pays a
price not only in money but in stress and overall
health as well. The
court settlement process is not always fair. Sometimes final
closure to a conflict,
dispute or problem is never reached.
Mediation
is based on the standard opinion or
principal that people are capable to resolve their own
disagreements, disputes,
problems, conflicts and rights if given the right
support and inspiration.
Generally, mediation is non-adversarial and the parties agree that
they wish to resolve
their matters in a safe, neutral environment. Mediation is a voluntary
and confidential
process. The Mediator does not act like a legal court judge
nor does the mediator
decide who is right or who is wrong or what is legally right
or fair. The
mediator works with both parties to help them arrive at a
structured settlement
and/or agreement to satisfy their interests. The items agreed
upon by the parties
are documented in writing.
In most
U.S. States and International Countries, mediation agreements and/or
settlements
are legally binding and are enforceable if a party fails to fulfill
their part of the
settlement and/or agreement. Generally, the settlement and/or agreement
reached
in mediation is agreed upon by all parties and does
not have to conform to
civil or common law. The Mediator maintains strict
confidentiality and will not
reveal anything discussed during the mediation process to
anyone other than the
mediation participants. The Mediator does not represent either party
in the mediation.
Generally, mediation does not include lawyers, attorneys, nor
witnesses. However,
parties can request lawyers, attorneys, and experts be present in a
consulting or
reviewing capacity. For more information about Mediation and its
