Abstract

This Article examines the professional roles of all parties during commercial mediation. Through a qualitative research project, this author examined the challenges, frustrations, and concerns faced by participants during the mediation of litigated commercial disputes. As a result of these qualitative surveys, similar challenges and frustrations emerge in the mediation process. Specifically, a study in contrasts emerges, similar to the paradox between competition and cooperation. These contrasts exist with all parties to the mediation process.
