Mediation Quarrels (greg)

 Suppose  that you are the HR manager for a company. The judge in a current law  suit by a former employee has ordered mandatory pre-suit mediation. Your  boss is unfamiliar with mediation and she asks you to advise her as to  several issues regarding the upcoming mediation. Draft a memo thoroughly discussing, at minimum, the following questions: 

  1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of mediation? Is it likely to be successful? Is it likely  to make the parties more or less hostile toward one another? How do the  costs in terms of time and money compare with litigation?
  2. If  your boss has no interest in mediation, does she really have to be  there? Can she send her attorney instead? If so, are there any conflicts  of interest with respect to attorney advocate representation of which  she should be aware?
  3. Must the company actually participate in the mediation? Can your boss (or her attorney) just sit there and refuse to speak?
  4. If  your boss (or her attorney) does decide to engage in dialogue during the  mediation, what are the risks concerning information that might be  disclosed? If the mediation fails, can the former employee use such  information at trial?
