What is Mediation?


Picture
Mediation is an informal, voluntary, and confidential way to resolve disagreements. A mediator helps people in conflict discuss concerns and, when possible, come to an agreement that is acceptable to both parties.  If the parties cannot come to an agreement, they are free to go to court and have a judge make a decision on the issues.  What is said in mediation is confidential, so if the parties do end up in court, the judge does not know anything that was said in the mediation.
