Mediators work independently from the court system, although mediation is sometimes court-ordered. Mediators can meet with clients in private offices or meeting rooms. Sometimes the meetings take place off-site in a neutral location. A Mediator’s purpose is not to deliver a decision but to guide the sparring parties through the dispute resolution process. They gather information about the case and get a sense of what each party believes and needs. The Mediator facilitates meetings between the parties at which they can talk through ways to come up with a settlement that’s satisfactory to both. These meetings can get heated, so the Mediator needs to stay calm and help keep the proceedings under control. They never take sides and must remain impartial throughout the process.
