WHAT IS MEDIATION?
 

Mediation is a voluntary process in which two or more parties involved in a dispute work with an impartial person or persons, the mediator or two co-mediators, to generate their own solutions in settling their conflict.

Unlike a proceedings before a judge or an arbitrator whose decisions subject one party to win and the other party to lose, mediation is about finding a solution that works for both disputing parties--a win-win outcome.  Disputants have the opportunity to write the judge's order!
