Parallel to utilizing litigation as a means of bringing about a more just and equitable world, Eric Seifert has simultaneously looked to mediation as a means of resolving conflict wherein the parties themselves speak for themselves without lawyers as intermediaries. As harms run deeper than any monetary  compensation can reach, mediation provides for not only the resolution of the conflict, but allows for the kind of healing that can only arise after directly expressing to the offending person how their conduct caused emotional, physical and monetary harm. While extremely challenging, a face to face encounter with the offender in the same room truly provides a heightened degree of closure and a palpable expression of  justice restored.
