Court-affiliated mediation

Court-affiliated mediation is a process where a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps disputing parties resolve their issues outside of court trials. Conducted within or facilitated by the court system, it aims to encourage constructive dialogue, identify common interests, and reach a voluntary agreement. This process is voluntary but often encouraged or ordered by the court to promote efficient, amicable resolutions, saving time and resources. It’s a confidential, collaborative approach that empowers parties to have control over their dispute's outcome while avoiding the adversarial nature of litigation.
