Why is a case mediated ?

It is important to understand that the Court has coordinated its trial docket in an effort to ensure that case will be tried as scheduled.  However, given the statistical reality that over 80% of all scheduled trials settle prior to the morning of trial, the Court and the attorneys for the parties have a duty to the other cases on its docket to ensure that all possible avenues of settlement in this case are explored prior to trial.

The statistics demonstrate that nearly 70% of all mediated cases settle at the mediation conference.  Settlement rates in Federal Court have been significantly higher.  Consequently, the Florida Supreme Court and the Federal Court for the Middle District of Florida have determined that mediation is the best and most appropriate forum in which to consider the possibilities for settlement in a particular case.
