Mediation Preparation

Mediation Preparation is a guide for anyone going to mediation. It is aimed primarily toward the layman, a party to a lawsuit, a Plaintiff or Defendant. The negotiating strategies will be helpful also to attorneys and laymen not represented by legal counsel. Mediators will also find in this guide tools they can use in reaching settlement agreements.

Newly trained mediators can have the advantage of Joe B. Hewitt's 13 years of experience as a court-appointed mediator. Mediation Preparation has several studies of actual mediation sessions, two or more combined, and using fictitious names and places to preserve confidentiality. This guide does not give legal advice.
