Given Vickie’s latest series at her blog re. mediation/arbitration malpractice, this is a timely post.

Great observations, I cant count the number of times the insurance companies settlement authority is somewhere else and can only be reached by phone.

I think one more way is fail to be realistic.

It is rare that a party agrees to go to mediation that does not have some fault. Be honest and recognize that you (as well as others) made mistakes, be willing to take your share of the fault and not blame everything on someone else.

This is just awesome advice! SO high end, so clever, so clear. Thank you for sharing this!

Nobody wants to get things to the point of this type of mediation, but this is wonderful, clear advice on how to help parties see their way out of trouble.
