I have heard that many cases settle in "mediation." What does this mean?

San Francisco Mediation Process Information


Question:

I have heard that many cases settle in "mediation." What does this mean?

Answer:

Mediation is a process whereby a neutral third person undertakes to try and negotiate a settlement in a case before the case actually proceeds to jury trial. At mediation, all that is said is confidential. Each side participates with their lawyer, and the parties negotiate towards resolution. If the parties are unable to bring the case to settlement via mediation, the case continues to proceed toward trial.
