Notes:	Presents three feminist critiques of mediation which focus on the gendered power imbalance in mediation, specific concerns around issues of domestic violence and issues of privatization of justice for women. Suggests that any model of dispute resolution which is to serve women’s needs must strike a balance between the needs of individuals, and the strategic and specific gender needs of women. Proposes this balance can be achieved by legislating women’s basic entitlements upon separation, thereby reducing the uncertainty of legal entitlements and providing women with an effective bargaining tool in mediation.
