Submissions to the Mediator |
Before mediation sessions begin, the mediator generally asks the parties to submit information they feel will help the mediator understand the dispute and their respective positions and interests. Before the parties gather, some mediators contact each side separately to ask clarifying questions or to review case logistics.
Unless a party instructs otherwise, all material, information, and other communications with the mediator are kept confidential by the mediator. At the conclusion of the mediation process, the mediator will either destroy these materials or return them to the party who provided them.
