Mediation, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) or "appropriate dispute resolution", aims to assist two (or more) disputants in reaching an agreement. The parties themselves determine the conditions of any settlements reached— rather than accepting something imposed by a third party. The disputes may involve (as parties) states, organizations, communities, individuals or other representatives with a vested interest in the outcome.

Mediation, in a broad sense, consists of a cognitive process of reconciling mutually interdependent, opposed terms as what one could loosely call "an interpretation" or "an understanding of". The German philosopher Hegel uses the term 'dialectical unity' to designate such thought-processes. This article discusses the legal communications usage of the term. Other Wikipedia articles, such as Critical Theory, treat other usages or "senses" of the term "mediation," as for example cultural and biological.

Mediators use appropriate techniques and/or skills to open and/or improve dialogue between disputants, aiming to help the parties reach an agreement (with concrete effects) on the disputed matter. Normally, all parties must view the mediator as impartial. Disputants may use mediation in a variety of disputes, such as commercial, legal, diplomatic, workplace, community and family matters. A third-party representative may contract and mediate between (say) unions and corporations. When a workers’ union goes on strike, a dispute takes place, and the corporation hires a third party to intervene in attempt to settle a contract or agreement between the union and the corporation.

Mediation is the only way assisted by one third, which promotes freedom of choice of protagonists in a conflict.

After an auto mobile accident, that was the other parties fault, what happens when you go to mediation?
Q. We were in an accident . We went and gave out testimony to the attorney on the at fault drivers side , and have been to their attorneys Dr's. Now we get a letter in the mail to be at arbitration and mediation court next month. What can we expect happening? Yes we have an attorney.. My husband and two children were in the car, they gave us a settlement for the kids already, and have been dragging this out now for quite some time... Is there a way of knowing how much to expect?

A. Well it's pretty much a settlement period. It's where their doctors try to dicredit your actul injuries & try to settle for a lower amount than you're asking. I'm hoping you have an attorney as well. Yet if you can not come up with an agreeable amount then the mediator steps in & settles for you. Actually my lawyer got good hooks on the other sides doctors once because I was personally going to a specialist & the person at faults insurance company sent me to a regular physician so my specialist towered over what their physician said & I won the case greatly :o) this will give you a hint of what will happen...but dont worry...everythng will be fine

A. Her attorney should wheel her into the hearing wearing a full body cast. When the questioning begins he should say to her blink once for yes and twice for no. Sorry just kidding around. I hope she has consulted and has an attorney. I am not sure if this is especially binding arbitration that this is best way for her to handle her problem. Though its a much more time consuming process even the threat of a trial is enough to get you a lot more money and it sounds like from what you said she deserves it. She needs a Personal Injury Attorney. Usually these people work on a contingency fee and no money is required up front. They usually collect 25 percent to about a third of what they collect for you. If they loose they collect nothing. They… [cont.]
