Mediation

In a mediation session, a neutral helps parties work through conflict toward a binding agreement that resolves their differences.  Often conducted in caucus sessions, mediation is the most common method of alternative dispute resolution.

Conciliation

Through conciliation, a neutral assists the parties in taking steps toward resolving some or all of their conflict.  Conciliation often occurs as part of a court appointed program, or under a court order.

Facilitation

Facilitation helps parties who have been in conflict learn to reestablish productive communications.  Facilitation is most useful when the parties desire a long term working relationship but don't know how to break through an impasse.

Evaluation

Unilateral or bilateral case evaluation can be useful at a number of different points in time.  It can help inform the decision to proceed to litigation, to proceed to discovery, to consider settlement prior to trial, or to consider a case's value on appeal.
