Is mediation more favorable than having a trial by jury?
If someone is being sued for sexual abuse/rape/assault/negligence etc. and they don’t want it to go public so they request mediation. My attorney says that’s good to cut down on cost, but then there’s no jury who would 100% find the other creep guilty. Wouldn’t it be better to go to trial and smear his reputation to cause him some harm like he caused me instead of mediating behind closed doors? Not sure why lawyer crazy about the mediation. Am I missing something?
Mediation is typically not available in criminal cases. Are you suing your employer?
The main benefits of mediation are that it is cheaper and quicker. And, of course, private–good for the D, not so much for you necessarily.
It really depends on the facts of your case, but I’d be pretty surprised why he’d want to do this if you have a good case. PM me w/ more info if you’re suing for sexual harassment.
