It asserts that although conflicts originate in the social sphere, they fall within the legal domain (arising and being resolved within the scope of legal consequences) when considered as objects of mediation.

In other words, the mediator’s work is carried out within institutional legal principles, while the psychological aspect is strictly non-institutional.
