Under existing law, when a person consults a mediator or mediation service for the purpose of retaining mediation services, or when parties agree to conduct and participate in a mediation for the purpose of compromising, settling, or resolving a civil dispute, anything said in the course of the consultation for mediation services or in the course of the mediation is not admissible in evidence nor subject to discovery in any other action or proceeding. This bill would require the California Law Revision Commission to study and report to the Legislature, as specified, concerning the relationship under current law between mediation confidentiality and attorney malpractice and misconduct, as well as the availability and propriety of contractual waivers.
