INTRODUCTION This symposium article examines a narrow slice of the Uniform Mediation Actthe prohibition on mediator communication to judges about a party's good faith participation or "problem" behavior in mediation. Early drafts of the Uniform Mediation Act (hereafter "UMA") contemplated exceptions to the mediation privilege, including claims that a party failed to negotiate in good faith. Ultimately, Section 7(a) reads in pertinent part: (a) Except as required in subsection (b), a mediator may not make a report, assessment, evaluation, recommendation, finding or other communication regarding a mediation to a court, administrative agency, or other authority that may make a ruling on the dispute that is the subject of the mediation. (b) A mediator may disclose: (1) whether the mediation occurred or has terminated, whether a settlement was reached, and attendance; (3) a mediation communication evidencing abuse, neglect, abandonment, or exploitation of an individual to a public agency responsible for protecting individuals against such mistreatment.
