Mediation
Mediation is a structured, interactive process where an impartial third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques. All participants in mediation are encouraged to actively participate in the process. Wikipedia
Other types of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) that are different from Mediation:
Arbitration
Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution, is a way to resolve disputes outside the judiciary courts. The dispute will be decided by one or more persons, which renders the ‘arbitration award’. Wikipedia
Early Neutral Evaluation
The technique of early neutral evaluation (ENE) have focus on market ineterships, and—based on that focus—offers a basis for sensible case-management or a suggested resolution of the entire case in its very early stages.
In early neutral evaluation, an evaluator acts as a neutral person to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each of the parties and to discuss the same with parties jointly or in caucuses, so that parties gain awareness (via independent evaluation) of the merits of their case. Wikipedia
Mediation FAQs

Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps resolve disputes without issuing a binding decision. Arbitration involves a third party making a final ruling. Mediation is more flexible and often preserves relationships.
Is mediation confidential?
Yes. Pennsylvania law protects the confidentiality of mediation discussions, so parties can speak freely without fear that their statements will be used in court.
How long does mediation take?
Mediation sessions can last a few hours or a full day, depending on the complexity of the dispute. Lee Davis offers half-day and full-day options for convenience.
