The Uniform Mediation Act was drafted as a joint effort between the ABA and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL). The purpose of the act is to create a uniform privilege for mediation communications in all of the United States, thus eliminating the high variability and inconsistency between various state rules. It also contains a conflict of interest clause, as well as confidentiality language. The NCCUSL website provides a legislative history for the act as well as the act itself. As of 2011, the act had been adopted by 10 states and the District of Columbia.
