Your mediator will work with both sides to decide whether there will be opening statements, which is often handled on pre-mediation calls with the mediator. For more information regarding whether to do opening statements, read the article titled “Opening Comments: A Key Strategic Decision In Mediation.”
"Judge Hanlon was an amazing mediator! While I have known her for years, I have never appeared in front of her or mediated a case with her. During a 10-hour mediation with her, I marveled at how hard she worked to get this case settled, and, more importantly, how great she communicated with my clients. She was calm, measured, reassuring, and so incredibly knowledgeable on the facts and mediation tactics. Judge Hanlon will always be on the top of my list for future mediations."
