Ethical Standards for Mediators

All mediators shall adhere to the Standards of Conduct for Mediators as promulgated by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA standards”). A failure to adhere to the AAA standards may constitute sufficient cause for the removal from the Panel. Such failure will not void any consensual agreement between the parties unless both parties consent to the rescission of the agreement or, on motion of any party to the mediation or, sua sponte, the court finds that the mediator’s conflict of interest or failure to abide by the AAA standards caused actual prejudice to a party.
