Practical examples and case studies are provided to illustrate important points and a range of documents and precedents are provided in the appendices.The third edition has been fully revised and includes, for the first time, references to mediator standards in Hong Kong and Singapore; revised mediation models, insights from cognate disciplines; management of mediation disruptions; visions of future mediator practice; and additional examples and case studies.
