Question

Answer 1

Answer: e. two of the above.

Explanation:

The typical types of mediation in the options include both Facilitative and Evaluative;

• Facilitative mediating is the most common and basic of mediation techniques. It involves the use of mediators who create an environment for negotiations. In other words they facilitate negotiations amongst the parties in conflict in the hopes that both parties can come to an agreement that favors the both of them and results in lasting peace.
• Evaluative Mediating on the other hand emulates Settlement conferences which is like a pre-trial where a Judge attempts to get both parties to settle a case before they go to court. Evaluative mediating therefore involves the use of a mediator who will act like a judge and show the parties where they are both falling short and then attempt to settle the issue they way they think a Judge would.
