Well, my normal approach is to put everybody in a separate room, and then what I’ll do is go and introduce myself to the parties.  I’ll give them a little bit of a background, my experience as a judge, and I will talk to them a little bit about the fact that I have reviewed the case, that I’m familiar with the facts and the legal issues.  I’ll let the attorney often times give me a little synopsis of their position, and sometimes, and frequently I will have a chat with the litigant and let them talk a little bit about what they want to try and accomplish through the mediation.  I try to focus on finding out where they’re at and try to stress the importance of trying to resolve the case that given day.
