A dispute resolution method designed to help warring parties resolve their own dispute without going to court. In mediation, a neutral third party (the mediator) meets with the opposing sides to help them find a mutually satisfactory solution.
Unlike a judge in her courtroom or an arbitrator conducting a binding arbitration, the mediator has no power to impose a solution.
No formal rules of evidence or procedure control mediation; the mediator and the parties usually agree on their own informal ways to proceed.
