In trust and estate disputes, mediation gives the parties ”a place that they can articulate what their frustrations or disappointments are that they are never going to be able to say in a courtroom. And it allows them to get those emotional issues acknowledged and get past those issues so they can meaningfully participate in the mediation process and subsequent negotiations and resolution of their cases.” Learn more in this JAMS podcast featuring Hon. Catherine Gallagher (Ret.) and Hon. Reva Goetz (Ret.): https://hubs.la/Q04F9wH30 #JAMSPodcast #Mediation
