Early Settlement Mediation - City of Norman

Welcome

In Mediation, a neutral third party, helps those in conflict define issues, explore solutions and reach practical, workable and mutually satisfactory agreements. Mediation seeks to prevent conflicts from escalating, saving everyone involved the time and expense of going to court.

Mediation is a process which can help ALL parties involved:

Get past their anger, frustration, guilt or ''desire to punish''

Clarify their underlying, bottom-line goals

See their ''opponent's'' feelings, viewpoints, and goals

Cooperatively build a lasting, WIN/WIN voluntary solution

Create an atmosphere of on-going cooperation and efficiency

All mediations are handled promptly and confidentially.
