Can mediation be conducted online?
General Mediation
Answer
Yes. Video mediation is now common. Remote mediation can reduce travel, simplify scheduling, and allow parties, attorneys, insurers, and experts in different locations to participate. The mediator can conduct joint sessions and private virtual caucuses much as in an in-person mediation.
