| Abstract: | Slovenian experience with ADR, including mediation, is relatively recent, with the first courtaffiliated mediation program introduced in 2001 at the District Court in Ljubljana. The formal adoption of various legal instruments, most notably the Act on Mediation in Civil and Commercial Matters in 2008 and the Act on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Judicial Matters in 2010 represented a significant step forward in facilitating a wider access to mediation. However, it was only in 2019 that the new Family Code introduced further reforms of family mediation within the scope of a comprehensive reform of Slovenian family law. Among other notable developments, it newly defined family mediation, provided legal grounds for mediation conducted before and after court proceedings and responsible authorities, determined the rules on appointing mediators, as well as special rules for mediation conducted in family matters, and authorised the ministry responsible for family affairs with several supervisory and organisational tasks. The article analyses the new legal framework for family mediation, comparing it with court-affiliated procedures, and examines its success as demonstrated by the available statistical data. |
