Practical tips for using risk analysis in mediation
Article Abstract:
Risk analysis is a tool mediators can use to revive stalled negotiations. Risk analysis provides both parties with an opportunity to measure their liability for a dispute and the likelihood it will be solved according to their ideal goal. It provides a realistic recognition of how a court trial may work and the costs parties would incur if they continued their dispute.

Using evaluations in mediation
Article Abstract:
Evaluation is a powerful tool in mediation, which should be used carefully. Evaluation occurs when mediators present opinions of how disputes might be resolved in courts. It provides disputants with a realistic reference point for judging their cases, but may destroy the bargaining process. It should be used late in the process, after all issues are explored.
