| Title: Assessment of the Mediation Program of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia |
| Author:
Daniel, Johnnie

| Date: 1995 |
Synopsis:
This study looked at case records for mediated cases and survey data from parties, attorneys, and mediators to determine 1) how appropriate the cases were for mediation, satisfaction with the timing of referral, satisfaction with the process and the outcome, and satisfaction with the mediator. The study found that most attorneys believed their case was appropriate for mediation and that attorneys thought their cases were referred at the appropriate time (most often at or near the end of discovery). In addition, attorneys tended to rate their enthusiasm for mediation higher than they rated their clients' enthusiasm, and believed that the mediator was not adequately prepared to discuss the case at the time of the mediation. While 2/3 of the cases settled, only a slight majority of attorneys were satisfied with the settlement of their case. Attorneys also reported that mediation provided the most help in expediting the resolution of the cases and helping them persuade their clients of the realistic merits of their claims. |
