Nevada Request For Mediation is a process to help resolve disputes between parties in a timely, cost-effective manner. This process is available through the Nevada Courts system and is an alternative to traditional litigation. Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party, called a mediator, facilitates communication between the parties to help them reach a mutually agreeable resolution. The mediator is not a judge or an arbitrator and does not make decisions for the parties. There are three types of Nevada Request For Mediation: Court-Ordered Mediation, Voluntary Mediation, and Mandatory Non-binding Mediation. Court-Ordered Mediation is initiated by the court and both parties must attend the mediation. Voluntary Mediation is initiated by the parties and can be declined by either party. Mandatory Non-binding Mediation is also initiated by the parties, but both parties must attend and the outcome is not binding.
