MEDIATION
Mediation is a voluntary process in which people meet in a safe environment with an impartial
mediator to work toward a satisfactory resolution of the issues, without the additional time and
expense involved in litigation. The mediator does not decide the outcome, but rather assists
people in reaching an agreement that best meets everyone’s needs.
Mediation is a confidential process of shared decision-making, in which one or more neutral
persons assist individuals, organizations, and communities in conflict, to work toward a variety of
goals.
Mediators from the Dispute Resolution Center will be available at your hearing. If both parties
are present, you are strongly encouraged to speak with a mediator prior to the case being called.
Your case may be mediated prior to Court, saving you time and resources. The Dispute Resolution
