Businesses, organizations and individuals often find themselves embroiled in litigation or navigating conflict that leads to litigation. Frequently, whether before a lawsuit commences or during a lawsuit but before trial, lawyers and courts encourage resolution of these disputes through mediation because mediation is relatively inexpensive, eliminates the inherent risk of litigation and allows the parties to retain control over the outcome. An important key to a successful mediation is the selection of a quality mediator.

The hiker, identified as a 52-year-old Massachusetts man, was on a solo trek in New Hampshire’s White Mountains when he became lost on Friday, March 21, the state Fish and Game Department said in a March 23 Facebook post.

The GOP-led New Hampshire House of Representatives rejected nonbinding legislation Thursday that would’ve recognized abortion as “a critical component of comprehensive reproductive health care.” The House voted 199-171 to table House Concurrent Resolution 7.
