Mediation law refers to the legal principles and regulations governing the process of mediation as a method of alternative dispute resolution. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process in which parties involved in a dispute engage a neutral third party, known as a mediator, to facilitate negotiations and assist in reaching a mutually acceptable resolution. Mediation laws outline the rights and responsibilities of the mediator and the parties, the process of selecting a mediator, the scope and limitations of mediation, the confidentiality of mediation proceedings, and the enforceability of mediated agreements. Mediation law aims to promote effective communication, cooperation, and self-determination among disputing parties, fostering the resolution of conflicts in a non-adversarial and collaborative manner.
