In conducting an effective mediation, the standards of conduct of mediators in the process, inter alia, play a pivotal role.

The Act defines ‘mediation’ as: “a voluntary process in which a mediator facilitates communication and negotiation between parties to assist the parties in reaching an agreement regarding a dispute”. It provides some standards of conduct for mediators but these standards are not sufficient. Therefore, the standards of conduct for mediators prepared by the American Arbitration Association (AAA); the American Bar Association’s Section of Dispute Resolution (ABA); the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR), i.e., the Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators 2005; and standards of conduct for mediators adopted by the New Jersey Supreme Court, i.e., Standards of Conduct for Mediators in Court-Connected Programs 2000; are also discussed in an extensive manner in this chapter.
