Mediating litigated disputes

Description

Mediating litigated disputes involves engaging a neutral third party to facilitate negotiation between parties embroiled in legal conflict. The essential action is to guide disputants toward mutually acceptable solutions, reducing reliance on adversarial court proceedings. This strategy aims to resolve issues efficiently, minimize legal costs, alleviate court congestion, and preserve relationships by fostering collaborative problem-solving, thus providing practical remedies to the delays, expenses, and adversarial nature inherent in traditional litigation.

Implementation

The International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers is dedicated to the use of arbitration and mediation rather than litigation. The holistic lawyer seeks to identify the roots of a conflict, to foster a client's self-awareness and empathy for his or her opponent. Clients conduct their own investigations, assemble documents, and do everything except research the law. This helps them heal their own inner conflict.
