Mediation

Mediation is often used to settle disputes, often as a successful alternative to actual trial. It involves negotiation among parties to a dispute under the guidance of a trained mediator either before and even sometimes during litigation. In North Carolina it is mandatory that all suits enter the process of mediation with a state-certified mediator.
