This session will discuss how the mediator, with the assistance of the FL Rules of Appellate Procedure, engages with the parties and actively raises questions to create doubt and identify the costs and risks of taking the appeal through the court system. The mediator’s familiarity with the pleadings and relevant case law, and ability to engage in post-trial reality-testing creates both a livelier and more focused discussion than trial level mediation. This is highly-interactive mediation and it’s very appealing indeed!
