Mediation
In mediation, there is no judge who will render a decision concerning a dispute.
The decision to work out a resolution remains at all times with the parties to it.
So, what is the point?

The success of mediation is that individuals determine their own fate. Working it
out yourself, rather than having someone else work it out for you, has its own
value. Generally, those in the dispute have the best understanding of the dispute
and its potential impact on them. Courts and juries - along with the appeals
process - often will not consider parties' priorities and may not have the legal
authority to provide concessions that can be achieved in mediation.

Consider the divorcing parents. Child support obligations generally end when a
child reaches the age of majority. However, not every child graduates from high
school before his or her eighteenth birthday. A mediated agreement can address
this situation, but "Judge Judy" cannot.

Consider the terminated employee. A court would not award the employee a "scholarship" to attend college if the termination was unlawful. However, an
employer may be willing to negotiate on that point. The flexibility inherent in mediation is the primary reason that mediation is a successful means to
resolve disputes.
