This statute makes statements and conduct that occurred in mediation proceedings inadmissible in court, and prohibits mediators from being compelled to testify in criminal or civil cases as to such information. Exceptions to this rule may be made in cases in which the judge determines the information is necessary to the administration of justice and it is not obtainable from another source.
