mediation process.
The parties agree to abide by the following understanding:
Parties Initials:
I understand that the mediator, although an attorney at law, does
not and will not give legal advice while working as a mediator. The mediator is not my
lawyer, but is employed only to assist us both as a mediator, facilitating discussions and
negotiations. The mediator has encouraged me to employ legal and other professional
counsel as I see fit to assist me in the mediation.
I agree that I will not, at any time (before, during, or after
mediation of this dispute), call the mediator as a witness in any proceeding concerning
this dispute. Further, I agree that the mediator and all adverse parties have a privilege to
refuse to testify and to prevent each and all others from testifying about communications
of any kind made during any aspect of the mediation.
I understand that the mediator is not employed to, or is expected to
make any decisions for me. I do not expect the mediator to act as a judge for me.
I agree that the mediator shall have the same immunity and
protection from law suits from damages and other relief as a judge of a Superior Court or
District Court of the United States Virgin Islands. Any attempt to break or question this
Agreement in a court shall entitle the mediator to a judgment against the party breaching
this Agreement or raising such questions, for the amount of the reasonable attorney's fees
and the court costs and expenses incurred by the mediator as the result of such
proceedings.
I agree not to disclose to anyone, at any time, any
communication made and documents produced during the mediation proceedings except
for the disclosure of any settlement agreement, which is ultimately signed by the parties
to the mediation. All statements made in mediator follow-up thereafter at anytime prior to
complete settlement of this matter are privileged settlement discussions and are non-
discoverable and inadmissible for any purpose including in any legal proceeding. I am
