How long does mediation take?

When setting a mediation, your attorney or you will typically book a mediation for a certain amount of time. If that is insufficient for you to settle your mediation, sometimes mediations are adjourned. That means that they are continued to another day. It may take more than one or two days to settle a mediation, dependent on your case. Sometimes additional information is needed or sometimes just additional time is needed because there are a lot of issues to be discussed. A mediation may also take as short as 30 minutes. It just depends on the issues in the case.
