Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the systematic problem of an acceptance and implementation of foreign law instruments in Czech Republic, incoming from Anglo-American law system. Supporting partial methods of the ADR, European legislative is focusing on the mediation and using this method in civil procedure law, especially in family law matters. The practitioners have accepted the idea of mediation as a part of civil law procedure without analysing or studying the real nature of this method or instrument. The study is looking into the problematics of the Mediation model and comparing it with European situation in the member states. It is also trying to find the best possible future ways for the development in the area of mediation with the reflection of the results of the implementation of the European mediation directive.
