This announcement was made in response to the June 2019 report of an Expert Group approved by the Scottish Government to conduct an independent review of mediation in the civil justice system.  The Expert Group was led by leading Scottish mediators and involved representatives of a wide range of interests.  Professor Nancy Welsh met with the Expert Group in February to discuss the U.S. experience with court-connected mediation.  The Expert Group’s report, Bringing Mediation into the Mainstream in Civil Justice in Scotland, cites Professor Welsh throughout.
