The court ordered us to mediate but the other side says they will “never” settle the case. How can mediation ever work in that situation?
It does. A successful mediation leads all parties to evaluate their positions and all possible outcomes. Mediation restores power over the parties’ destiny to them, instead of leaving it in the court. This feature of mediation has strong appeal to most people when they are able to realize they are being given the chance to regain control.
