This report was produced by a 26-member Mediation Confidentiality and Standards of Conduct Committee established by the Michigan Supreme Court in 2008. The Committee proposes a new mediation confidentiality rule for general civil and domestic relations cases (p.2). The report highlights the deficiencies in previous Michigan confidentiality rules, discusses the Uniform Mediation Act and analyzes the current rules regarding confidentiality (making comparisons to Florida's statutes regarding confidentiality). This report also proposes amending the Mediator Standards of Conduct for Michigan mediators. Finally, the report recommends that a successor committee further analyze the standards of conduct.
