I think it’s critical to do that.  You spend a lot of time reaching resolution.  Parties, if you don’t have a signed settlement agreement, parties can leave the session, have buyer’s remorse, and then all of the sudden everything falls apart.  So once you’ve got that signed mediated agreement I think parties then recognize and accept that that is the final deal.  Sometimes I if don’t have staff handy we’ll hand write them. I did a mediation recently at an attorney’s office and once we had reached agreement we – I sat down with the lawyers.  We hand wrote out and signed the agreement.  The lawyers signed the agreement, the parties signed the agreements, and I did.  We had a final resolution of that case.

Minnesota Mediation Attorney, Gregg Johnson, talks about signing a mediated settlement agreement after the issues are resolved.
