Professor Elayne E. Greenberg has published Confidentiality: The Illusion and the Reality—Affirmative Steps for Lawyers and Mediators to Help Safeguard Their Mediation Communications, NYSBA, New York Dispute Resolution Lawyer, Spring 2013, Vol. 6, No. 1. Here is an excerpt:

A strengthened mediation structure that promotes party self-determination and a well-thought-out confidentiality agreement are essential steps that contribute to safeguarding those expectations and withstanding future legal challenges to mediation.
