Massachusetts Uniform Mediation Act Working Group In September 2007, a group of mediators from around the Commonwealth convened to review the Uniform Mediation Act with the goal that the mediation community in Massachusetts, through a collaborative process, could support a statute with a united voice in the Massachusetts legislature. The UMA addresses the confidentiality of mediation, conflicts of interest, and disclosure of mediator qualifications. Additional information about the UMA can be found at the Uniform Law Commission web site. Choose "Mediation Act" for the Act Title and "Massachusetts" for the state. After two years of hard work, the Working Group concluded that we did not support the UMA as drafted and we did not have consensus on changes, if any, to present to the legislature. The Working Group has therefore disbanded. It is anticipated that all UMA Working Group members and any other interested parties will be contacted in July/August of 2010 to determine the need and interest in convening a new group to re-examine the UMA.
