Mediation is becoming very popular as the mediators facilitate bringing peace between parties to resolve a dispute within a legal framework, thereby resulting in a win-win option for both parties involved. Besides, training is important and significant in mediation for mediators as they should be also equally good in human relations, human management, destressing stressful situations amongst legal acumen and knowledge.
