Privacy Why we ask PRELIMINARY DRAFT ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR MEDIATORS IN COURT-CONNECTED MEDIATION PROGRAMS FOR CIVIL CASES 1. PREAMBLE These standards are intended to guide the conduct of mediators in court-connected mediation programs for general civil cases, to inform and protect participants in mediation, and to promote public confidence in the mediation process and the courts. As with other dispute resolution processes, in order for mediation to be effective, there must be broad public confidence in the integrity and fairness of the process. Mediators are responsible to the parties, the public, and the courts for conducting themselves in a manner that merits that confidence. COMMENTS: These standards are not intended to create new civil causes of action. Nothing in these standards should be deemed to create, augment, diminish, or eliminate any substantive legal duty of mediators or the non-disciplinary consequences of violating such a duty. NOTE: This is similar in concept to the Preamble section of the CDRC standards, but is more narrowly tailored to reflect the fact that these are designed to be minimum standards for mediators court-connected mediation programs, not aspirational goals for the mediation profession as a whole.
