Mediation: How Does Mediation Work?

The process usually begins with a joint session. During the first meeting, the mediators explain the process and answer questions. After the parties have told their sides of the story, the mediators may ask for clarification or elaboration on particular topics. Following the joint session, the mediators may meet with each party separately to discuss the issues in greater detail and to gain a better sense of how the parties would like the issues resolved. In these meetings, the mediators help the parties try to find an appropriate way to solve their problem.

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
