Add Comment Question: What should be included in the brief sent to the mediator? Is there a typical length to the brief? Lastly does the mediator advise the parties about the possible outcome should the action go to court? Thanks Answer: Only a lawyer should be drafting a mediation brief. It's an extremely important document. No party should attend a mediation unrepresented.
