Mediation resolves disputes with the help of a neutral third person. The neutral person (the mediator) has no power to impose a decision if all parties do not agree to settle the case. The mediator helps parties focus on the key issues of the dispute and explore options for settlement.
Mediation brings people in conflict together without going to court. Going to court can divide people and increase hostility. Mediation looks to the future. It helps end the problem, not the relationship.
