Review:

"Mediation Advocacy describes the steps of the mediation process. The author also addresses the ethical considerations of mediation--the difference between good tactics and unethical conduct. The appendix contains checklists covering issues such as mediator selection and postmediation advocacy. It also contains sample mediation agreements and forms and organizations offering alternative dispute resolution services." -- Judicature

"One of the very few books that actually approaches mediation from the viewpoint of the attorney/advocate rather than that of the neutral or the party." -- James B. Boskey, The Alternative Newsletter
