Abstract: Contemporary trends in Europe and the US are focused on institutionalising mediation training. The aim is to establish common standards for such training, applicable to all educational institutions offering initial or specialised (advanced) mediation training. Another trend is to give a prominent place to universities that have already established traditions in teaching mediation as a guarantee of higher quality training. This can be particularly useful in advanced training for court mediators or in specialised training in family, commercial, labour, consumer, and other types of mediation. In order to achieve the desired end results one circumstance should be considered when amending the regulatory framework and harmonizing the existing regulatory framework in Bulgaria: not the formal introduction of court mediation in Bulgaria, but its practice by mediators with a high level of knowledge and skills who are proficient in mediation techniques.
