Abstract
The chapter is about court-connected mediation in Denmark. It opens with a historical review of mediation activities in legal disputes with special attention to conciliation boards operating from 1795 to 1952. It goes on to describe the contemporary system of court-connected mediation with a review of the regulation, as well as the practice of mediation in this setting. The chapter goes on to examine the current status of court-connected mediation, demonstrating that there seems to be enthusiasm, as well inherent ambivalence in the legal community towards this method of dispute resolution. Finally, the future role of court-connected mediation in civil litigation is addressed, concluding that it is not yet possible to determine whether court-connected mediation is on the rise or whether it is just a temporary feature of the civil justice system.
