So why choose mediation over litigation in order to resolve your dispute? The reasons are many: You control the result; mediation allows for creativity in solutions; mediation is less costly than litigation (both financially and emotionally); mediation is confidential; mediation permits people to openly vent their frustrations and to discuss many issues that they may have; even if the mediation is unsuccessful, your legal positions are preserved, thus there is no downside to attempting mediation; mediation allows for flexibility in scheduling; you can choose your own mediator but you cannot choose your judge; mediation allows for the preservation of relationships (as opposed to the erosion of relationships) if this is what you desire. Ultimately mediation can be an extremely effective and compassionate approach to resolving disputes and should be meaningfully explored as a viable alternative to the litigation process. The bottom line is that mediation allows you to control the outcome of the conflict rather than leaving it to chance in the court system.
