Abstract

Mediation is not just inviting a retired judge into your negotiations to put a price on settlement. But some sophisticated corporate attorneys still see it in those stark terms, writes Jeff Kichaven of Los Angeles. He describes why professional mediators bring value to cases, rather than merely setting values for cases.
