Judicial mediation as one of the methods of dispute resolution

Abstract

The Importance of Judicial Mediation is considered an alternative dispute resolution mechanism whose primary objective is to alleviate the burden on the courts and expedite the administration of justice. More importantly, it seeks to preserve amicable relations between disputing parties.

This research aims to shed light on the concept of judicial mediation, its conditions, and procedures. It further distinguishes judicial mediation from other forms of dispute resolution, such as arbitration. The study outlines the procedures involved in judicial mediation, beginning with the referral of the dispute to mediation, through the mediation sessions, and concluding with either a settlement or failure of the mediation process. The research concludes with several findings and recommendations.
