Mediation Briefs Sample Clauses
The Mediation Briefs clause requires parties involved in a dispute to submit written summaries of their positions and key facts before a mediation session. Typically, each party prepares a document outlining the background of the dispute, relevant legal arguments, and supporting evidence, which is then shared with the mediator and sometimes with the opposing party. This process ensures that the mediator is well-informed in advance, streamlining the mediation and increasing the likelihood of a productive and efficient resolution.

Mediation Briefs. The Mediator believes that concise, factual briefs that cite only the most dispositive legal authorities can greatly aid in making mediations efficient and productive.
