Voluntary mediation in New York State

Article Abstract:

A study of a New York state voluntary mediation programs suggested that such programs suffer from an insufficiently clear mission and from a general lack of visibility as a sound alternative to litigation. Also, questions regarding the type of qualifications the mediators should have and the type of issues they should address must be clarified. Mandatory state programs indicate that they ease court caseloads more than do voluntary programs.

The pros and cons of mediation

Article Abstract:

Mediation is most effective in cases involving high costs, multiple parties, long-term working or personal relationships, and in cases with highly emotional issues such as racial or sexual discrimination. Mediation should not be utilized in cases involving the need to establish precedent, constitutional questions, criminal issues or potential mass tort cases. The greatest advantage to mediation is the voluntary nature of the process.
