Mediation
It is important that parties participating in mediation have a clear understanding of the issues in their case, what the law says, and what outcomes are possible if the decision is left to a judge.
A mediator tries to help the parties see the broad range of possibilities between the best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA) and the worst alternative to a negotiated agreement (WATNA). Because a judge has all of the possibilities between those extremes available to him or her in reaching a decision, it’s best for the parties to choose their own outcomes whenever possible.
