Extractions: Successful negotiation of agreements, either through formal mediation or between attorneys, involves skill, patience, and preparation. Whether you are involved in a formal mediation or are negotiating with opposing counsel without the assistance of a mediator, many of the same principles will apply. For purposes of this paper, therefore, I will treat mediation and negotiation as if they were interchangeable. The strategies outlined in this paper can be employed in either situation. Preparation The single most important factor for success in any form of negotiation or mediation is to BE PREPARED . Do not attempt to mediate or negotiate until you and your client are sure that you know what the issues are and have all of your questions answered. When the parties and counsel do not have a clear picture of the parties' assets and liabilities, respective incomes, needs, and what the custody issues are, mediation and negotiating will be wasted and bad feelings will be fostered because the parties will not be talking about the same thing and may end up arguing over issues which are really non-issues. There are several ways to obtain information sufficient to proceed with mediation without conducting formal discovery. Each party should prepare an accurate budget, normally in the form of a Domestic Relations Financial Affidavit, that sets out their basic needs. The parties should exchange all documents, such as bank and other account statements, pay stubs, tax returns, insurance plans, pension information, etc., that provide a complete picture of the parties' financial situation. This is relatively simple if the parties are W-2 wage earners and own a house and a simple retirement plan. It can be more difficult if there is significant separate property involved, complex compensation issues (e.g. stock options), or other complicated financial situations. Obviously, if either party has filed a financial statement recently in which he or she has signed under oath that all assets and liabilities have been disclosed on the statement, that document should be provided to both sides.

UWLS Clinical Law Program Students complete mediation training through the law Schools Continuing Julia Ann Gold is Senior Lecturer in law and Director of the mediation Clinic. http://www.law.washington.edu/Clinics/mediation.html
Extractions: Mediation Clinic Client Services "In a mediation, students shift from being an advocate or problem-solver for clients, to being problem-solvers with the parties. Through the Mediation Clinic, students learn to trust that individuals in conflict can often find the most satisfying and durable solutions themselves. I believe this translates to their work as lawyers by making them more empathetic listeners and creative problem-solvers. Julia Gold, Director The Mediation Clinic is unique among the clinics at the University of Washington School of Law in that students do not represent clients. They instead serve as neutral third parties to help individuals involved in a dispute negotiate a voluntary settlement of their case or conflict. Since 1991, the clinic has provided free and confidential mediation services to the general public as well as staff, students and faculty at the University of Washington. Students complete mediation training through the Law Schools Continuing Legal Education Program and receive two quarters of intensive mediation instruction and apprenticeship. They are supervised in their casework by a faculty member or professional mediator. Students hone their listening skills, negotiation skills, issue-spotting and creative problem-solving skills.
