Fairly Legal TV Show
Did you know that Mediators have a TV show too ?
Fairly Legal is a new USA Network television series starring Sarah Shahi, Michael Trucco, Baron Vaughn, and Virginia Williams.
The show is a legal drama that gives the viewer a lighthearted view of the work of a mediator. The main character Kate Reed (played by Sarah Shahi) is a firm believer that justice can always be found-even if it's not always in the courtroom.

Mediation

applies to different fields, with some common peculiar elements and some differences for each of its specialties. The main fields of application of mediation are business commerce, legal dispute and diplomacy, but minor forms can be found in other fields too. The mediation in marriages is technically admitted in the category, even if it follows its own history since the times of ancient Greeks.

The activity in itself is indeed very ancient, presumably started with Phoenician commerce (but it has been supposed it was in use in Babylon too), and developed in Greece (where the mediator is called proxenetas - not in the sense of marriage mediator), then in Roman civilisation, where mediation is recognised in Roman law starting from Justinian's Digest. In Rome the mediator was called with a variety of names, among which internuncius, medium, intercessor, philantropus, interpolator, conciliator, interlocutor, interpres, and finally mediator. During the Middle Ages, mediation has been differently considered, sometimes forbidden, or its practice has been restricted to centralised authorities. In some cultures it was instead a sacred figure, tributed a particular respect, partly coincident with that of traditional wise men.

Mediation is more than a Negotiation because here a trained and neutral third party assists the disputants to settle their disputes. On this website you will find information both about Mediation and the Law.


Quote of the Day
If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
