Many mediators encourage some form of submission exchange between the parties. Often parties will share some of their submission with the other side and the remaining sections they will keep confidential – “For the Mediator’s Eyes Only.”

Judge Burke successfully mediated a complicated case with little chance of being resolved.  He read every word of the parties' submissions, asked astute questions, and worked hard to find a path to resolution.  Judge Burke communicated with the parties themselves - so that they felt they were important participants in working toward resolution. The case I thought was never going to settle, settled.
