MEDIATION
Mediation is a confidential and voluntary process whereby a neutral and impartial third person acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute without prescribing what it should be. Mediation is an information and non-adversarial process intended to help disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
The mediator’s role is to reduce obstacles to communications, assist in identifying issues and exploring alternatives, and facilitate voluntary agreements resolving the dispute; However, the ultimate decision-making authority rests solely with the parties. A mediator’s responsibility to the parties includes honoring their right of self-determination; acting with impartiality; and avoiding coercion, improper influence, and conflicts of interest. A mediator is responsible for maintaining an appropriate demeanor, preserving confidentiality, and promoting awareness by the parties of the interests of non-participating persons. A mediator’s business practices should reflect fairness, integrity, and impartiality.
