Civil Procedure
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party, the mediator, helps disputing parties reach a voluntary agreement. This process encourages open communication and cooperation, allowing the parties to explore options and find mutually acceptable solutions, often avoiding the need for more formal litigation processes. Mediation plays a significant role in civil litigation by facilitating negotiation, promoting settlements, and helping parties resolve conflicts amicably.
