Unlike many negotiations, third parties will participate in mediation. In fact, neutral mediators are important to the mediation process. The mediator acts as an intermediary between the parties and attempts to promote consensus. The requirements for becoming an intermediary vary from state to state. To compare requirements between states, see note 23 "Hyperlink: Mediator". There is no unified license requirement, but in some states someone needs specific training or qualifications to become a mediator. The mediator does not provide advice on the subject of the dispute. In fact, the mediator may not have subject matter expertise on the nature of the conflict. However, as many mediators are trained in conflict resolution, you can adopt methods to identify common goals and objectives, avoid unrelated problems, and promote voluntary consensus among the parties.
