A personal favorite -- a Hatfield-and-McCoy-type dispute between two wealthy homeowners who lived adjacent to each other in a beach resort community – where we succeeded in fostering a settlement in large part because we held the mediation on-site – caucuses were held in driveways, on decks, by the side of a swimming pool, and even in the street. It took an entire day, but we signed the handwritten settlement agreement on a yellow pad at the end of an exhausting day.
