Position papers at mediation - lawyers

I am a lawyer, mediator and academic. I am conducting research into the use of position papers in mediation. By position paper, I mean any form of written communication provided prior to mediation for the purpose of influencing decision-making at the mediation - not just providing personal details or court pleadings.

I would appreciate if you could complete this short survey from the perspective of a lawyer. Your response will be anonymous as the survey monkey app does not collect or report the identity of respondents. There are 12 short questions. It will take 5 minutes to complete.  

The research results will assist:

·       Lawyers and parties engaging in mediation.

·       Mediators to optimise their mediation process.

·       Courts in referring parties and lawyers to mediation

Thanks very much
