Mediation — A Handbook for Maryland Lawyers
Written by two judges and an experienced trial attorney, this
handbook is the first comprehensive practice guide to mediation in Maryland and takes you step by
step through the mediation process. In seven well-organized, tightly-focused
chapters, the authors explain the essentials of the mediation process, with the emphasis on the
practical. Each chapter concludes with a checklist that summarizes what you have read and provides
you with a blueprint for handling that aspect of the mediation process.
In 12 user-friendly appendices, the authors provide you with a
comprehensive array of primary source materials (court rules, ethics guidelines and
existing programs, including a summary of ADR programs in Maryland’s Circuit Courts and all
Federal District Courts; the Maryland ADR Commission’s Practical Action Plan; and the Report
on ADR in Maryland’s District Court), as well as helpful references to state, national and
international mediation organizations; internet resources; and local, state and federal government
contacts. This wealth of practical information will enable you to "plug in" immediately
to the current law and practice of mediation in Maryland’s state and federal courts. The handbook
covers:
ADR and its relation to traditional forms of dispute resolution.
A general overview of mediation, including its history and the evolution of state and federal mediation law.
The different stages of the mediation process.
When to use mediation, what factors to consider, how to advise clients about it, and how to obtain an adverse party’s consent to mediate.
The roles of mediators, the legal and ethical rules governing their conduct, how to locate mediators, and the factors to consider in choosing a mediator.
How to prepare for and participate effectively in mediation.
Confidentiality in the mediation process.
