The parties involved in mediation usually hire a lawyer or judge to do this. The mediation process is typically held in an office setting rather than in a courtroom. Mediation is similar in many ways to arbitration, except that arbitration is final and binding where mediation is an ongoing process that continues until the parties can come to an agreement.
Mediation can be useful because it is a process with the ultimate goal of bringing two sides to a mutual agreement.The procedures during mediation vary, but the parties usually begin by meeting separately with the mediator to discuss their positions.The mediator will then proceed to go back and forth between the parties until a resolution can be reached.
