The concept of mediation and related proceedings are becoming moreand more popular among practitioners and theorists of law and otherscientific fields, such as anthropology, philosophy, economics, sociologyor psychology. Mediation is used in various areas of human life, bothexternal, interpersonal, related to influencing human behavior, as wellas internal, intrapersonal, related to emotions, experiences, feelings andsocial attitudes resulting from them. The use of this institution is alsocloser to judicial practice, both in terms of broadly understood civil lawand criminal law or proceedings in juvenile cases. The analysis of this issuegives grounds for the claim that mediation, as a certain form of striving foragreement, has a real impact on every aspect of human life. However, theproblem is much more complex. This analysis is only an outline of it andan attempt to draw attention to those issues that at first glance seem to beof little importance, but as a consequence have a number of far-reachingsocial and legal consequences.The aim of the work is to present mediation in the Polish criminal trialand its importance for every citizen, both from a legal, social and psychologicalperspective. Also taken an attempt to verify, whether criminalmediation can be an alternative to the court proceedings or only a supportfor it.
