I have read that 90% of lawsuits filed are settled in "Mediation". What is Mediation?

Since many people may not be familiar with the legal terminology or the process, the information that follows may be of some help to you on the process, procedure and potential outcome.

First of all, it is important to understand that mediation is not to be mistaken for just another form of arbitration.  The goals of the two differ considerably.  It is sufficient here to observe that arbitration is designed to provide an alternate dispute resolution forum for a limited class of less complex civil cases at the early stages of the case.  In contrast to that program, mediation is designed to serve the interests of the more complex civil case which has not been arbitrated, which has completed most, if not all discovery requirements, and is or ready to be set for trial
