Experts in Mediation - Catalysts for Resolution
An expert has traditionally been regarded as a credentialed spokesperson engaged to endorse the position of his or her client. An expert can make many contributions: identifying issues in dispute, marshalling facts, and bringing key elements into focus. For counsel unfamiliar with securities disputes, an expert can be an invaluable resource in understanding the facts and the issues, and in identifying the salient aspects of both.

An expert will help the client, attorney, and mediator understand the issues in dispute and articulate the issues without the emotion of the parties or the advocacy of counsel.

The success of mediation rests upon each side's readiness to listen to the other and to honestly comprehend and respond to each other. The more effectively each side can marshal and present its facts, educate the other side to these facts, and counter opposing facts the more likely resolution will be achieved.

Roger Deitz, chair of the Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution of The Association of the Bar of the City of New York, explains this topic in full in a cover story of the Commentator. Go to our Educational Materials & Links area to print out this article.
