The role of the Mediator. We understand that the mediator has no power to decide issues for us. The mediator has an obligation to work on behalf of all parties and cannot give individual legal advice to any one of us. Mediation is not a substitution for independent legal advice. We accept responsibility for representing ourselves or seeking legal advice, if desired. We give the mediator permission to discuss the mediation process with our attorney, but the mediator will engage in negotiation with the attorney only if we tell the mediator that the attorney has negotiating authority. The mediator accepts NO responsibility for the terms of the agreement reached.
