The amended mediation chapter of the California Evidence Code "governs mediation in the fields of civil actions, insurance, the environment, family, labor-management, community, agency actions, etc. The chapter defines mediation and who can conduct it, provides requirements for enforceable settlements, and prohibits mediator reporting and coercion. It expressly extends confidentiality and other protections into later arbitrations, court actions and administrative hearings." The chapter is California Evidence Code Section 1115-1128.
