Senate Concurrent RESOLUTION—Proclaiming September 15 through
September 21, 2001, as Nevada Mediation Week.

 

   Whereas, The resolution of disputes can be divisive, costly, time-consuming and complex when achieved through litigation and formal court proceedings in which parties are adversaries and subject to formalized procedures; and

   Whereas, Many persons desire alternatives to contentious litigation conducted in the traditional setting of a courtroom; and

   Whereas, Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that

allows each party an opportunity to present his or her side of a dispute and,

with the help of a trained, impartial mediator, reach mutually satisfying

solutions; and

   Whereas, Mediation offers an option for businesses, consumers,

families, landlords and tenants, neighborhoods and others to resolve

conflicts in an expeditious and cost-effective manner, as well as in a

manner that may preserve the relationship of the parties; and

   Whereas, The Mediators of Southern Nevada, Inc., and the Nevada

Dispute Resolution Coalition recognize members of their communities for

their peace making efforts; now, therefore, be it

   Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly

Concurring, That the members of the 71st session of the Nevada

Legislature do hereby proclaim the week of September 15 through

September 21, 2001, as Nevada Mediation Week; and be it further

   Resolved, That this special week be recognized throughout Nevada

with celebrations of peace making efforts to remind our residents of the

productive and satisfying options that mediation services provide, and to

encourage participation in this problem-solving alternative; and be it

further

   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy

of this resolution to Mediators of Southern Nevada, Inc.
