This book describes models and techniques to help mediators deal with the peculiar problems that arise in traditional bargaining. The following subjects are covered: the realities of negotiating about money; skills of the mediator; ethical standards in the mediation of civil litigation; and charting settlement conference proposals.

Learn how to deal with the peculiar problems of traditional bargaining through proven models and techniques that will help you to:

Gain a better understanding of the dynamics of money negotiations;

Identify the recurring problems presented in those cases

Acquaint and arm yourself with new tools to handle those challenges;

Build a model of the mediation process that will serve as a roadmap when traditional bargaining is unavoidable; and

Assist the parties in traditional bargaining in a facilitative, rather than a directive way.

The book also includes an appendix comprised of proposals and counter proposals made by Plaintiffs and Defendants in over one hundred court-ordered mediations in the superior courts in North Carolina. The charts provide the reader with a sense of the difficulty in settling a case through traditional bargaining, and the frequency of settlement even when the parties' initial positions are far apart and movement is slow to materialize.
