A Mediator may provide legal information but cannot provide legal advice because the Mediator is a neutral party and legal advice given to one party may prejudice the other party and vice versa. “Legal advice” is defined as the an opinion of a lawyer about how the specific facts of your case would be applied under the law of Maryland by a judge, for example, an attorney might advise you that “under the facts of your case a judge would likely award you use and possession of the family home for two to three years.” “Legal Information” is generalized information about legal matters, such as “judges may decide use and possession awards relating to a family home.” The legal information does not predict what might happen in your specific case.
