Non-assertive conduct is a slippery slope; better to not testify as to anything as an attorney or it could seriously harm the mediation process.

He brought out some very concerning issues facing today's mediator. I am grateful for the insight!

Excellent presentation.

THE SLOPE CAN BE VERY SLIPPERY WHEN we start to move away from total protection of mediation confidentiality.

Look for "unless otherwise required by law" in Rule 31. Consider what to do about bad faith participation in mediation including using Rule 16 and Rule 31 and ask for sanctions.

Very relevant. Need more topics on mediation ethics.
