Question

Explain why the mediation process laid out is so complicated?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mediation is much less formal than going to court, but the conflict resolution process does involve distinct stages designed to lead to a mutually beneficial compromise.

Explanation:

Unlike a judge or an arbitrator, the mediator won’t decide the outcome of the case. The mediator's job is to help the disputants resolve the problem through a process that encourages each side to:

=air disputes

=identify the strengths and weaknesses of their case

=understand that accepting less than expected is the hallmark of a fair settlement, and

=agree on a satisfactory solution.
