Q Respond to the following: Should the parties’ rights of self-determination overrule the need of the center to ensure the standard of confidentiality is protected? Keep in mind it is the responsibility of the mediator not to divulge the confidential communications that occur during mediation. Since the parties are not bound the same way as a mediator, and because litigation is pending, what authority does the CDRC have to deny a request to videotape the session?
