There may be room for a compulsory step in commercial mediation processes where essentially it is about facilitating a negotiation towards a financial resolution. When it comes to workplace mediation, participating in mediation must remain voluntary ? but some compulsion to consider the mediation option is desirable.

Mediation is required in most civil cases in district court if a "responsive pleading" ? such as an answer or counterclaim to a complaint or petition ? is filed. The judge can also refer parties to mediation to try to resolve specific issues in a case.

The length of mediation is different for each case depending on the number of issues, and the levels of conflict experienced between the parties, but will often last between 2 and 3 hours.

Please note mediators charge various fees ranging from $30.00-300.00 per hour. Fees are usually based on experience and background. Most mediation sessions typically run 3-4 hours but may be more or less depending on the issues involved. The fees are usually split among the parties unless ordered or arranged otherwise.
