Ethical Standards Although there is as yet no standard licensing or certification required for mediators, they should have appropriate training, continuing education credits, and professional affiliations to ensure their understanding of the process and their compliance with appropriate ethical standards and constraints. All the mediators at Brigitte Bell Mediation, Ltd. do so and are committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards. For more information, go to MCI Professional Standards of Practice for Mediators at www.mediationcouncilofillinois.org. Similarly, lawyers who belong to the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois have specifically undertaken the training and ethical commitment to practice in this new way.
