Neutrality - Bradley Bostick is a neutral mediator and shall not act as an advocate for any party to this mediation.

The mediator shall not be compelled to disclose or testify in any proceeding, including, but not limited to civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings.
This Mediation and Confidentiality Agreement does not alter the rights of the parties to compel otherwise admissible or subject to discovery materials.
