The Chief Justice has also authored the Foreword to the publication.
It covers a wide range of topics, including the Mediation Act, 2023, pre-litigation and institutional mediation, family and commercial disputes, online dispute resolution, artificial intelligence, and ethical and practical challenges faced in mediation.
Speaking at the launch, Chief Justice Surya Kant observed that while the Mediation Act, 2023 could be read in a single sitting, the practice of mediation required far greater understanding and experience.
She describes the Mediation Act, 2023 as "a declaration that India is ready to pursue justice through conversation, not only adjudication."
This is her third book, following Reproductive Rights of Women in India (2023) and Judicial Dissent – A Jurisprudential Analysis & Contemporary Outlook (2024).
