Praxishandbuch Mediationsgesetz

The German Mediation Act introduced new rules for mediation procedures and for the duties and rights of the mediator. It also set standards for educational courses, and replaced the system of judicial mediation with mediation by “conciliation judges” (Güterichter). The handbook explains these regulations, providing a detailed presentation of issues relevant to mediation practice while also offering forms and templates.
