The mediator works with both individuals and professionals in all sectors, as an impartial, neutral and independent third party, to create or restore a bond of trust between two parties. They manage conflicts involving individuals, groups or individuals and institutions. The profession is accessible through different courses, from vocational training to a master's degree level. For a high school student who wants to resolve disputes amicably, they can take the CAP (vocational training certificate) exam to become a prevention and mediation agent, or become an activities and daily life animator. If they wish to further develop their skills to improve their mediation functions, they can continue their studies to obtain a vocational baccalaureate in child and elderly care animation, or take the BAC-level family mediator exam or the technician exam in mediation services provided by the Ministry of Labor and Employment. To go further, the mediator can obtain a master's degree that allows them to become a judicial mediator, a mediator with the Financial Markets Authority (AMF), or an internal mediator for large companies: DEUST (diploma in technology and science) in social cohesion and professions, professional license in social intervention, professional license in project design and cultural mediation, professional master's degree in intervention and social development, professional bachelor's degree in legal careers, professional bachelor's degree in social careers... The list goes on.

In the context of a legal referral (referral of a judge or magistrates, for example), consumer disputes, commercial disputes, family disputes or other problems between two entities, which may involve one individual against another, an individual against a company or a company against another, mediation and conciliation should be attempted before resorting to a court ruling. The mediator or conciliator acts as an intermediary, seeking to achieve an amicable agreement, satisfying both parties if possible. If an agreement cannot be reached, it will be up to the court to decide. The role of the mediator, also called conciliator, involves many activities: - Planning the intervention; - Establishing dialogue or reconciliation between the parties; - Preventing conflicts by reminding everyone of the regulations specific to the place of intervention; - Participating in the implementation of social projects; - Fostering good relations; - Resolving disputes amicably; - Transmitting information transparently to the various stakeholders. The missions of professional mediation will vary depending on the field of activity. For example, for a social mediator in a public space, their role will be to remind everyone of the rules of living together in public places, often through dialogue or seeking amicable solutions when conflicts arise. As for the social and cultural mediator, their missions will include reconciling families, institutions and schools. Their scope of competencies is broad depending on their field of activity: social, legal, commercial, financial, etc. The mediator's report is recognized by law - a non-falsifiable proof of admissibility that remains valid until revoked by the court or updated by the mediator following new information.

Achieving an amicable settlement can be a utopian ideal in many disputes and conflicts, such as family disputes, neighborhood problems, unfair competition, and so on. In such cases, resorting to mediation becomes necessary to resolve the dispute and avoid harsh legal responses from the court for one or both parties involved. For example, in a family dispute, it is common for a family member to intervene as a mediator, but their impartiality may be questioned based on their affinity. Alternative modes to conventional mediation are not many or even non-existent, yielding fruit. Seeking a mediator remains the best way to achieve an amicable resolution of the disputes with an agreement clearly established by the parties involved. Additionally, the mediation clause includes the enforcement of the contract signed by all parties, valid before all jurisdictions. This is not the case if a non-authorized person, such as a family member, mediates a dispute requiring mediation. Regarding mediation, the mediator uses various processes to accomplish their mission. Their main objective is to reach a mutually agreeable solution between parties involved in the dispute within the shortest possible time frame to avoid conclusive court action, as previously indicated. Participating in mediation helps avoid lengthy legal proceedings and benefit from amicably resolving the disputes.

Mediation can be defined as a negotiation between parties involved in a dispute aided by an independent impartial third party. It is a method of resolving disputes involving the use of a paid third party who may be appointed by a judge to facilitate the adoption of a compromise - an amicable solution between conflicting parties. The average cost of a conventional mediation procedure varies between €150 and €250. Family mediators may charge by the hour, and while some work in associations for a fee ranging from €2 to €132 per hour of mediation depending on the parties' incomes, others work independently and set their own fees, typically around €60 per hour of consultation for reference.

There are several criteria to consider when choosing a mediator: social mediator, consumer mediator, judicial mediator, bank mediator, financial mediator... For a mediation procedure to go well, it is first imperative that the mediator knows his profession, meaning that he has completed training and holds a diploma proving that he has finished his studies. Then, the mediator's skills must be related to the dispute or conflict he is arbitrating. A social mediator would not be suitable for a consumer dispute, and the same goes for a cultural mediator. For conflict resolution to be carried out properly, the mediator's personality plays an important role: seriousness, relational ease, neutrality, approachability, etc. The amicable resolution of conflicts also depends on the specialist's reputation and notoriety, whether it is for civil and commercial mediation, or judicial mediation. This criterion is linked to the obligation to practice, as their practice will inevitably leave traces in the memories of others, and a few impressions can be uncovered by doing some research on professional networks - first impressions are hard to dispel.
