Primary Purpose
The primary purpose of these Rules is to assist you in reaching a settlement of the issues you will be mediating. The Rules are necessary to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the mediation process. They will assist you in examining relevant factors necessary for a full discussion of the issues. You will determine a resolution of your conflict, but these Rules are intended to protect the integrity of the process and to ensure full discussion and analysis of relevant issues. Your voluntary consent to be bound by these Rules is a prerequisite to the mediator agreeing to serve as your mediator.
