As you note, Maryland's circuit court ADR program has several structural flaws that curtail the effective delivery of mediation services and the development of a high-quality mediation profession in the state. Chief among them are the current assignment process and capped hourly rates. These components undermine the process by removing one of the most important parts of the mediation process -- the selection of the mediator. Parties who select their own mediator will almost always feel more comfortable and confident in the process, and they stand a much better chance of utilizing someone with the right style and expertise for that particular dispute. <br /><br />There is currently a movement to change these components of Title 17 and allow parties the right/responsibility to select their own mediator. To further these efforts, I have forwarded a link to the New Jersey blog you cite above to the subcommittee currently examining Title 17.<br /><br />Thanks again for your work on this important issue.<br /><br />Erik Johnson<br />Creative Dispute Resolutions, LLCErik Johnsonhttp://www.creativedisputeresolutions.comnoreply@blogger.com
