Mediation is a confidential, non-binding process in which a neutral helps the parties negotiate a settlement. It ends a large share of litigated matters without a trial.
A mediator does not decide the outcome. The parties retain control and are free to leave without an agreement. Courts often require or encourage mediation at set points in a case.
For measurement, mediation is a checkpoint at which settlement hazard concentrates. The likelihood of resolution in the weeks around a scheduled mediation is much higher than in an ordinary period.
Mediation is not a determination of liability. It records an agreement or its absence.
