Wikipedia - "the free encyclopedia" - is not a reference I would cite in motions to the court. However, in browsing around Wikipedia today, I see that quite a bit of information exists under the search term "Mediation" that might be useful for individuals curious about or contemplating the use of mediation.
Here is the description of "Mediation" provided: Mediation, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), aims to assist two (or more) disputants in reaching an agreement. The key component of mediation is that whether an agreement is reached, and the nature of that agreement, if any, is determined by the parties themselves rather than being imposed by a third party. The disputes may involve states, organizations, communities, individuals or other representatives with a vested interest in the outcome.
