      abstract = {Since 1982, the New Castle County Superior Court in  Delaware has promoted mediation, which attempts to resolve  filed conflicts prior to trial. This paper evaluates how  spatial land-use conflicts channel through mediation and  litigation. Data suggest that mediations fail because one  of the key disputing parties does not play a direct role in  mediation and litigation. The data then inform a predictive  model of litigated outcomes in which disputants share in  the responsibility for conflict. By alleviating some of the  uncertainty of litigation and proposing win-win, mediated  outcomes, the model may be used facilitate future  mediations.},
