Mediation is to serve as a mediator between two or more parties that can't reach an agreement on their own. The mediator listens to the parties involved, then helps them to come to terms on the issue that both sides can agree to. The mediator is one who is unbiased to either party involved in the mediation, therefore, they can suggest or render a fair agreement or compromise to all concerned parties. Mediators are useful in many situations, whether it be divorce, property settlement, business partners, etc.

Mediation is where 2 parties, instead of taking each other to court, decide to work the problem out with the help of a mediator. The mediator is neutral and will listen to both sides of the story, and try to get both people to come to a mutual agreement.
