In the May cover story, “Never Assume What Your Clients Know About Mediation and Arbitration,” survey data collected by a team led by University of Nebraska College of Law Prof. Kristen Blankley indicates a low level of public knowledge of arbitration and mediation. It also finds that there is confusion regarding those processes' characteristics when compared to the greater understanding of litigation and negotiation. Members can read the full article to find out how to address conflict resolution with law firm clients or, for neutrals, mediation parties.

CPR’s Mia Levi, Vice President, Global Development for Dispute Resolution Services writes in Mediating Commercial Disputes: Understanding the Process to Maximize the Benefits that mediation is a process in which a neutral third party—a mediator—meets with the disputing parties and actively assists them in reaching a settlement. Mediation is private and confidential, flexible, and more informal than other processes such as arbitration or litigation. It is concluded expeditiously, allowing parties to settle the dispute or narrow their issues at moderate cost. The overwhelming majority of disputes in mediation (70% to 80% of commercial disputes) settle, and because the outcomes are mutually agreed upon, they have high rates of compliance.
