First we need a small amount of information to best serve you: I am: a member of the public a mediator (including attorney-mediator) an attorney other dispute resolution professional My area code is: or no area code (International) Thanks for the opportunity to serve you. Privacy Why we ask 1. A mediator shall recognize that mediation is based on the principle of self-determination by the parties. 2. A mediator shall conduct the mediation in an impartial manner. Impartiality means freedom from favoritism or bias in word, action or appearance. 3. A mediator shall disclose all actual and potential conflicts of interest reasonably known to the mediator. After disclosure, the mediator shall decline to mediate unless all parties choose to retain the mediator. The need to protect against conflicts of interest also governs conduct that occurs during and after the mediation. 4. A mediator shall follow the best practices [core competencies] of the credentialing process under which the mediator is operating. A mediator shall maintain professional competency in mediation skills and, where the mediator lacks the skills or necessary subject knowledge for a particular case, shall decline to serve or shall withdraw from serving. 5. Consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (e.g., PA Consolidated Statutes, Title 42, section 5949), a mediator shall maintain the confidentiality of everything in a mediation, including, but not limited to, all oral, written, or electronic communication related to the mediation. The standard of confidentiality shall apply to all such communication occurring before, during and following the mediation.
