Using the Mediator to Gain or Offer Information

NYLS Film: Representing Clients in Mediation — Module 4 • September 23, 2025

Getting—And Giving—The Good Stuff in Mediation

Some really beneficial things can happen in a mediation that can’t happen elsewhere. The fourth module of New York Law School's “Representing Clients in Mediation" discusses "Using the Mediator to Gain or Offer Information."

Playing the role of counsel in the film, I show the range of valuable information that can be offered and obtained through the mediator, even early in a dispute. Lawyers skilled in this can save their clients precious time and money and spare them the heartache of prolonged litigation.
