In sum, a mediation brief should focus on the structure and timing of the brief and the case itself, including the facts, procedural history, applicable case law, decision-making factors, and unresolved issues and potential options for settlement.

The primary disadvantage of mediation is that it cannot always ensure an outcome that is favorable to both parties. Because the mediator is not an impartial decision-maker, it can be difficult to enforce the terms of an agreement in the event that one or both parties do not comply with the terms they have agreed to.

Mediation is an informal and voluntary process in which a trained mediator(s) assists the parties to reach a negotiated resolution of a complaint. The mediator does not decide who is right or wrong and has no authority to impose a settlement on the parties.

Drafting the written agreement Write out the terms of the agreement in plain language that both parties can understand. Ensure that each party's rights and responsibilities are clearly stated. Include any and all details that have been agreed upon by both parties. Ensure that the agreement is legally binding.

The overall success rate of mediation remains very high, with an aggregate settlement rate of 92% which is not significantly different from our 2020 findings. Settlement rates amongst the Advanced mediator group have, however, slipped back from an overall 92% in 2020 to 85% this year.

Qualities often found in effective mediators include neutrality, emotional stability and maturity, integrity, and sensitivity. Look also for good interviewing skills, verbal and nonverbal communication skills, ability to listen, ability to define and clarify issues, problem-solving ability, and organization.

The Mediation Process Stages 1-4 and 6-7 are usually conducted in joint session. Stages 1-4 focus on the past and present and stages 6-7 focus on the future. At all stages, the mediator will assist the parties to define their own interests and needs and understand those of the other parties.

A mediation statement should distill the issues in the case. Less is always more. Start with a single paragraph identifying the parties and summarizing the claims. Provide a concise summary of the key facts without the gory details, as objectively as possible.
