The Role Of Lawyers In Family Mediation: What The Future Holds

Authors : Inas Al-khaldi .

Abstract

The role of lawyers in mediation has become increasingly important as society views mediation as an effective alternative dispute resolution mechanism to litigation. This paper attempts to explore such a role in three phases of the mediation process – the pre-mediation, during the mediation meeting, and post-mediation. The second part of this paper discusses the role of lawyers in the future of mediation – the common pressures against lawyers’ proper involvement in mediation.
