neutral third person called a Mediator acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between
two or more parties. It is an informal process with the objective of helping the disputing parties reach a
mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement.” You or your attorney must have full authority to settle
without further consultation at pre-trial mediation.
You or your attorney should be prepared to confer with the court and to explain briefly the nature of your
dispute, state what efforts have been made to settle the dispute, exhibit any documents necessary to
prove the case, state names and addresses of your witnesses, stipulate to the facts that will require no
proof and will expedite the trial, and estimate how long it will take to try the case.
