“Lake County Mediations” (formerly Lake County Dispute Resolution Services) provides a wide range of safe, confidential and effective mediation services and training to the Lake County community and has provided mediation services to the Lake County Courts since 1993.
Mediation is a nonadversarial inter-personal process. Parties to a dispute are supported by a neutral third party (the certified mediator) in identifying the disputed issues, developing options and seeking their own fair settlement.
As a neutral party, the mediator has no advisory or decision-making authority and functions solely as a facilitator.
