Abstract
ANATOMY OF MEDIATION is a case study of a contract dispute between an opera company and a musicians' union. The facilitated negotiations, which take place over ten days, are presented in the form of an annotated transcript which is introduced by a summary of the four primary purposes of the mediator 5 and the twenty-five topics which are used to accomplish these central purposes. The case study is presented and then dissected in detail in order to describe what the authors call the "keys to success".6 Finally, mini-case studies are used to portray a complex business dispute, a sexual harassment dispute, a neighborhood dispute, a custody dispute and a family dispute. In the concluding section, mediation is compared to other forms of dispute resolution.
