inform Claire of the differences between private and court-ordered mediation in Ingham County Michigan. Again, include what steps are required to select a mediator, your strategy, if any, in doing so (who you will look for), who will pay for the mediator, when it will occur, and what the rules would be in private mediation.

1. List the requirements and procedure for both court and private mediation.
2. Compare the advantages to Claire in using either court or private mediation in this case.
3. Categorize what qualifications and experience you would recommend Claire utilize in selecting the mediator in each.
4. Analyze what strategies your firm should employ in representing Claire in each case.
5. Reflect on employed research strategies, including how search terms were refined, choice of databases, range of dates, and identifying experts and sorted to accomplish a task.
