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 worked tirelessly to settle a case in which I represented two plaintiffs. She was able to get the case settled for one of the plaintiffs during the mediation. She then followed up numerous times with both sides to reach a settlement on the second plaintiff's case. Judge Hanlon is top-notch and one of the best mediators I have ever had the pleasure of working with on a case.
