Many Faces of Mediation
At Dictionary.com, Mediation is simply defined as:
The attempt to settle a dispute through a neutral party.*
That is a broad definition and covers a lot of ground...as does the field of mediation.
On one end of the spectrum, settlement is the goal to be achieved. At this far end, retired judges act as evaluators and convince litigants to agree to a settlement that has been developed by the mediator. At that far end of the spectrum, the parties usually meet in separate rooms and never talk with each other.
