Having gone through the various chapters of this book, I am confident that it is going to be a value addition insofar as literature on mediation is concerned. It is going to be of immense help not only to the legal community and mediators but also to other stakeholders and consumers of justice who would like to take recourse to mediation to resolve their disputes.

Ms Navya Jain's book is a milestone. The book has succeeded in bringing forth the right balance between academic intensity and the practical realities surrounding the subject-matter. It is hoped that every reader who comes across Ms Jain's in-depth research in this book is compelled to think as deeply as the well-researched manuscript. Interestingly, this book's framework is unparalleled and certainly holds a position above the many commentaries and introductions on mediation law that have flooded the market.
