The Tension Between Lawyers and Judges

...e, in a sense, dictators. Mediation is democracy. Some tough, hard-bitten, trial attorneys lament the mediation movement as a step backward. I disagree, especially in the Family Court setting, but I have also successfully mediated “seven figure”, and “high six figure”, monetary settlements without ever filing suit.
