What is mediation?
Mediation is a process that brings people together to clarify issues,
discuss options and, if possible, reach an agreement. It is an
alternative to non-resolution or costly legal measures.
Mediation is voluntary and confidential. By using mediation, parties
do not give up their legal rights. If an agreement is not reached,
parties can still take their case to court if they wish.
Who are the mediators?
Mediators come from all walks of life, with diverse backgrounds and
experiences. Every mediator has undergone a rigorous fifty-hour
training course in conflict resolution, listening skills and working
with people. Mediators are trained to remain neutral.
They will not make decisions for you, provide legal advice or recommend
the terms of an agreement. Please click on Mediators
to view a list of mediators currently working with CMUS.
Who does CMUS serve? How much does it cost?
CMUS services are free. Anyone with a dispute in Queen
Anne's, Kent, or Cecil County, Maryland may request our
services. Many of our cases come to us from the District or
Circuit Court; many others are referred to us by agencies, churches,
etc.; even more people come to us after hearing about us from a friend
or colleague.
When and where are mediations scheduled?
Mediations are scheduled at a variety of locations throughout the three
counties and at various times, at the convenience of those requesting
them.
