Justice and mediation: proposals from european practitioners and trainers for a culture shift
Keywords:
mediation, justice, alternative dispute resolution systems, culture, EuropeAbstract
Despite the benefits of mediation, in most European countries it is in minimal demand as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) system. This article analyses the views of mediation practitioners and trainers from eight different countries regarding two fundamental questions: what is going wrong, and what can be done to reboot the system? The results offer a vital contribution to the process of considering legislative and social changes to improve citizens’ access to justice, including the need to promote mediation in schools, improve relationships with those involved in law (especially the legal profession), and make mediation compulsory in certain areas.
