Of the processes available in ADR, the process of
mediation has a well-established, well-defined structure. Or does
it? Mediation is used in three distinct contexts in Minnesota: As a
pre-cursor to civil litigation, as a standard part of the resolution of many
family cases, and as a community resource for dispute resolution unrelated to
court. ADR processes are known for their flexibility and responsiveness to
parties’ needs and mediation is no different. From initial client contact,
through designing and facilitating the mediated session(s), there are common
elements that make mediation what it is. There are also key differences
between civil, family and community mediations. In this CLE, participants
will look under the hoods of these three types of mediation processes, comparing
applicable statutes, general rules of practice and other process considerations
and best practices.
