"Winning at Mediation"

June 27th 2008 by Jim W Hildreth Real Estate Mediation Services

One of the pleasures in my mediation practice is meeting other mediators, sharing ideas and often learning from their experience and wisdom.


Today I recieved from Nancy E Hudgins a San Francisco mediator-attorney who shared a compiltation of essays on mediation preparation.

The pamphlet started with an idea from her blog http://www.civilnegotiation.com/ on a series of post on preparing for mediation.

From developing a pre-mediation checklist, listening skills, matching the mediator, creating value, strategies to developing a plan.

I enjoyed the chapter that "Mediation is Not"

A armed conflict, hand -to-hand combat nor is it Moot Court.

Nancy explains that mediation is a different skill. One that is more collegial, cooperative, and collaborative.

Nancy believes that to always be positive and to stay positive.

I have learned that when I tell parties in a "Dispute" that by the end of the mediation we will settle this conflict today, it sets out a positive outcome.

Nancy invites the reader to "Construct your own plan" for successful negotiation or mediation.

Jim also reviewed with the Sonora Attorneys that "No Attorney fees will be awarded unless real estate litigants strictly comply with Mediation condition precedent in California Association of Realtors, CAR form purchase agreements" The case is Lange v.Schilling Case # C055471 (3rd Dist, May 28,2008

The consensus of the local bar is that the courts and attorneys are using Mediation as an alternative in disputes and prior to litigation.
