Mediation involves both sides of a dispute meeting with each other and an impartial mediator to attempt to reach a voluntary and mutually satisfactory agreement that resolves the dispute. In mediation, the mediator(s) will facilitate discussions, negotiations and procedures but will not offer independent analyses, opinions or judgments. Mediation involves no formal court procedures or rules of evidence, and the mediator does not have the power to render a binding decision or force an agreement on the parties.

The entire mediation procedure will be confidential. All conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, representatives or other invitees to the mediation and by the mediator, who is the parties’ joint agent for purposes of these compromise negotiations, are confidential and shall, in addition and where appropriate, be deemed to be attorney client privileged. Such conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the parties and shall not be disclosed to anyone not an agent, employee, expert, witness, or representative for any of the parties. However, evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible in a later proceeding is not excluded from discovery or admission as a result of its use in the mediation.

The parties further agree to share equally the costs of the mediation, which costs will not include costs incurred by a party for representation by counsel at the mediation.
