Dana Rone, Turiba University (Latvia) Mediators and advocates: partners or rivals? °Towards the goal of settlement of disputes Dana Rone, Turiba University (Latvia) Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Competing or cooperating? Competition between lawyers and mediators about «The Best» status Mediators trust in omnipotence of negotiations Lawyers trust in law and court rulings Think about: what the client needs? the best interests of the client Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Has any of both professions – mediators and lawyers – priority? Who can help the client better? Which is the best solution of dispute? Shall we convice the client about the only correct solution? Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Cooperation between both professions – lawyers and mediators – can lead to the optimal solution Both professions have their strong and weak points Knowing about possibilities of other profession and in close cooperation between professions optimal resolution of the case can be reached Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

In which cases lawyers refer clients for mediation? When litigation can’t lead to needed solution (for instance, property division between spouses during marriage divorce; inheritance disputes between heirs, etc.) When there is high risk of loosing valuable relations between disputants To win more time To save client’s finances otherwise been spent for litigation When a dispute is less legal and more about relations Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

In which cases mediators refer clients to lawyer? When immediate court protection is needed (for instance, provisional protection against violence; securing of evidence; securing of the claim, etc.) A person is not informed about rights / obligations / proceedings A person wants a lawyer to prepare the final agreement after mediation process Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

In which cases lawyers discourage their clients to try mediation? When lawyer has negative experience related to mediation (for instance, the parties will reach solution for very short period of time and then will return back to disputes, etc.) When lawyer does not want to lose the client (and income) When lawyer knows about objective losses inevitable in mediation process (for instance, loss of time, lack of executable document, etc.) When lawyer wants to see legal result of settlement of the dispute (for instance, legally interesting court case worth to be resolved by judgment of the court and thus enriching volume of case-law) When lawyer reassess his/her abilities in amicable dispute resolution Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

EU standing. Mediation development toolkit The European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) elaborated the Mediation development toolkit ensuring implementation of the CEPEJ Guidelines on mediation – CEPEJ(2018)7 (27 June 2018) Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Need for the toolkit and further steps The Commission underlines a need to establish a Court Mediation Pilot, which requires strong support from the superior judiciary authorities, as well as a preliminary and full collaboration of the tribunal, the bar and mediation associations, and mediation services is essential Broad information should be disseminated to the members of the Bar and Mediation organizations with strong recommendation to participate in dispute resolution process in a constructive maner Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Ongoing need for mediators The Commission has discovered ongoing need to train a sufficient number of justice professional in mediation in order for them to be able to identify cases appropriate for mediation, inform the parties about the main advantages and characteristics of mediation, and finally to encourage the parties to choose mediation. Mediators are also considered to be justice professionals (in line with lawyers (advocates), court bailiffs and judges) Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Shortcomings in cooperation between justice professionals Equal shortcomings in all EU Member States: lack of mutual and efficient cooperation between practicing mediators and lawyers, certain lack of trust between both groups of professions, non-existence of continuing practical study courses in cooperation between lawyers and mediators. Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

Cooperation between other legal professions Judges and notaries are better supported by advanced courses on settlement of disputes High need to merge in the same study unit both judicial related professions of lawyers (advocates) and mediators, and train them in close cooperation in resolution of disputes. Friday, 31 May 2019Friday, 31 May 2019

United we stand, divided we fall Professional cooperation between lawyers (advocates) and mediators can: help parties to resolve their cases in the most suitable manner for the particular dispute; minimize workload in courts; strenghen professional competences of both justice professions; gain benefits from both methods of dispute resolution.
