Lisa Blomgren Amsler (Indiana) and I are quoted in a recent Indiana Lawyer article entitled Dealing with Differing Perceptions of Reality.  The piece asks the question of whether mediators should be responsible for the disputing parties’ honesty during the mediation process. You can probably imagine where the two of us stand on the issue.  What strikes me as most interesting about the idea is this: the lack of understanding that mediation is simply a facilitated negotiation, not a court proceeding.
