Abstract
What do disputants want in a mediation process and what do they get? How does the process shape disputant perceptions and outcomes? This article explores research into the various mediation processes used in court related mediations in the Supreme and County Courts of Victoria, Australia. The article comments on both mediator and litigant perceptions of the process, and cross-contextual comparisons are made with dispute resolution processes examined in previous research studies. Additional articles and the research report comment on a range of other matters including the costs and time taken in mediation, the role of legal representatives and the search for enhanced quality in mediation and dispute resolution practice.
