Time
4:10 PM - 5:10 PM
Description

The rise of court-mandated mediation affects perceptions of mediation as voluntary. This session will explore ways to combat post-mediation litigation through promoting party self-determination. We will discuss preliminary findings from data collected from litigators, mediators, and nonlegal professionals regarding perceptions of party self-determination and whether this correlates with settlement satisfaction.
