I haven't mediated in small claims court in a while, but it is where I got my start (in Manhattan's court...some interesting cases there). By the way, NYC small claims court is where the People's Court and Judge Judy get their cases from. Small claims cases are among the most challenging and are often harder to resolve than the multi-million dollar cases. Other than their time, there is little for a litigant to lose. Keep plugging away and learn. As you know, mediation is not formulaic for the most part and experience, intuition and understanding of people are your best tools. Excellent post.
