If the mediation doesn resolve the dispute and I end up in court, can I hire the ControlAltDispute mediator to represent me?
While it might be possible to conceive of a situation where this could happen, the answer is almost always going to be “no.” A ControlAltDispute mediator is very likely to have learned “secrets” or “strategies” during the mediation from one or both parties which is going to present the mediator with an ethical prohibition against representation of one against the other.
