Mediation: What is Mediation?

Mediation is a fast, relatively inexpensive way to resolve disputes. The co-mediation process uses third party neutrals, known as mediators, to facilitate resolution. The mediators have been trained to work with all parties to help them find a way to resolve their dispute. The goal is for the parties to reach a voluntary agreement of their own. Mediators cannot make decision or force decisions on the parties to the dispute.

Message from the President

"It has been my pleasure to serve as President of this historic mediation council. The Federal Alternative Dispute Resolution Council has served the greater Louisville Federal community for over 10 years. During that period of time the Council has been a trail blazer in the use of alternative dispute resolution within the federal community. It continues that role today. With the introduction of our internet presence we are able to reach out more fully to all federal communities in need of a model for creating their own pool of shared neutrals, or training or professional third party neutral intervention."

- Linda George, Small Business Administration,
FADRC President
