Social Justice

What is Mediation?

Mediation is a process where a neutral and skilled mediator can assist families who are in conflict to work out arrangements for themselves and their children. Mediation is a voluntary process that can help two sides to reach an acceptable solution to their differences. A mediator can help the parties examine ideas and options in a neutral, safe environment where they are free to express their opinions. Social Justice treats the mediation as confidential and does not provide information to any third party.

What is Litigation?

Litigation is the process of taking a dispute to a court of law. This process is complicated and formal, involving a series of technical steps in terms of the
prescribed rules of the court. The parties are dependent on the experience of their legal representatives and the court’s interpretation of the
facts of their case and the law, thereby placing the outcome of their case in the hands of other persons. The alternative to litigation in family matters is
conciliation, mediation and facilitation.
