Privacy Why we ask The Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution MEDIATION STANDARDS CHECKLIST As courts, industries, businesses and other organizations develop mediation programs, standards will be critical to fair and effective programs, and to the acceptance and use of these programs by disputants and their advisors. While mediation providers may choose to follow an existing code of conduct [see accompanying resource list], they often develop quality standards tailored to their own needs. Typically, in developing standards, providers research existing codes and cull relevant sections. This is a time-consuming and inefficient process. The Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution of The Association of the Bar of the City of New York has compiled a list of topics, in outline form, as a guide to assist system designers. This list is not intended to be exhaustive; system designers are encouraged to be innovative and creative. To our knowledge, such a list is not currently available. The accompanying guide is intended to make the task of developing mediation standards more efficient and to assist in creating effective standards. It is hoped that this list will help mediation providers -- including, but not limited to court programs, internal corporate ADR programs, community mediation programs, specialized mediation programs, and states that develop mediation standards -- to consider and identify issues to include in their standards.
