Each year, the ABA recognizes the third week in October as Mediation Week to educate lawyers, dispute resolution professionals, students, and the public about mediation and related forms of collaborative problem solving. During Mediation Week, the ABA encourages all to recognize the importance of the work of neutrals, advocates, and policy makers and celebrate the strides we have made in institutionalizing mediation as one of several appropriate dispute resolution processes.
