Meditators vs lawyers?
Both attorneys and mediators are trained to handle conflict, but their roles in dispute resolution differ significantly. The role of an attorney is to represent one side or the other of a dispute. Rather than advocating for either party, a mediator guides both parties through the resolution process and helps them to navigate the challenging emotional terrain that so often accompanies conflict.

Lawyers who are mediators are generally highly skilled at providing legal information.
When a lawyer proposes mediation to the parties, he or she can help bridge the gap by keeping the client’s pride intact.
