Preferred term

mediation  

Definition

  • Mediation is a form of dispute resolution in which a third party with no interest in the outcome of a dispute and with no authority to dictate the result of a dispute facilitates a dialogue between the disputants. The dialogue is less formal than a contested hearing, and rules of evidence and procedure are substantially more relaxed than what one would expect to find in a court hearing.UseMediation is used in virtually every type of dispute, from the smallest local tort case to the largest complex international affair. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Mediation]
