Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution to their conflict. Mediation can take place in a variety of areas, including but not limited to:

• Legal disputes (e.g. divorce, contract disputes)
• Business disputes (e.g. partnership disputes, employment disputes)
• Community disputes (e.g. neighborhood disputes, land-use disputes)
• Family disputes (e.g. child custody, inheritance disputes)
• International disputes (e.g. border disputes, trade disputes)
