I completed recently a court appointed mediation in Sonora, CA. It was over a construction defect between a local contractor and the homeowners.

The Superior Court suggested mediation vs a trial.

After the mediation conclusion, I received a copy of a letter mailed to two Superior Court judges.

Jim Hildreth served as the mediator specifically appointed by Judge Provost, he did an excellent job, he showed great patience, with a dispute with high emotional tension.

Throughout the mediation Jim showed a particulary strong allegiance to the importance of mediation as an effective tool for the court, as well as adhereance to the ethical standards required of mediators.

Its Sunday, fall is in the air, a storm may dump snow today, a good day for sharing, giving, being thankful, reading, reflecting, photography, my mini list includes eating a spinach & mushroom and cheese Crepe and a visit to my mom. Perhaps a nap, adding a few new smiles to One Million Smiles. A simple Sunday. Love to those in conflict and the only way is through and the choice is ours. Enjoy friendships and Love

As a mediator, I have been seeing lots of anger expressed lately at the mediation table. Anger is ok, if its directed in a manner that brings about some form of resolve.

What is not good, are deep levels of prejudice towards races, religious beliefs.

The economy is also adding a huge amount of stress and the impacts are on individuals, couples, partnerships.

Mediation can be effective in resolving disputes, if the parties are willing to sit at the same table and truly listen to one another.

A neutral can assist and guide.

My days as a court appointed mediator have been busy in resolving disputes.

The court has taken a pro-active position that many disputes can be resolved through Alternative Dispute Resolution, and specifically through mediation.

During the past week of late October 2010 I was assigned 3 mediation's, 2 construction defects and a vandalism where a road construction grader was cut up into 7 pieces, the dispute involved long term friends for over 60 years.

Each of these disputes had the root of non-communication, anger, resentment.

Each was resolved in mediation, vs a trial in the Superior Court.

Jim W Hildreth is both a private and court appointed mediator, who's focus is disputes involving real estate.
