Colorado’s Dispute Resolution Act protects mediation communications from disclosure. Neither parties nor mediators can be compelled to reveal mediation discussions except in narrow circumstances. Common exceptions include all-party written consent, threats of a felony or harm, child safety concerns, or claims against the mediator or mediation organization. Courts and programs emphasize these confidentiality rules to promote candid problem solving. Mediators may also close sessions at their discretion. The statute and judicial materials outline the scope and limits of confidentiality.
