Mediation Support from God, Country and Notre Dame:
“And why do you not judge for your self what is right? As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.” (Gospel of Luke 12:57-58)
“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser – in fees, and expenses and waste of time. As a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.” (Abraham Lincoln, Notes for a Law Lecture, 1850)
“I think the methods of peace are multitudinous, but I like mediation where you can sit down with the two aggrieved parties and somehow work it out between them.” (Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, Notre Dame President, 1952-1987)
