Abstract

It’s not uncommon to hear mediators complain about the widespread use of misrepresentation in mediation. They also concur that candor is what gets cases settled. This dynamic tension highlights a unique aspect of many mediations: it is a process where the negotiator’s propensity to lie is frequently confronted by a neutral’s active encouragement of candor.

Keywords: mediation, ethics, justice, confidentiality, professional conduct, self-determination, neutrality
