Description The issue of modernizing justice systems is currently being discussed in most European countries. The law seeks new possibilities that would be an alternative to standard judicial procedures. These include mediation. The original theoretical-empirical study responds to the urgent demand for relevant and up-to-date information on the application of mediation in the Member States of the European Union. The authors have used an interdisciplinary approach in which a sociological and socio-geographical point of view is applied. They mainly focused on applying the institute of the first meeting with a registered mediator. Based on statistical data obtained from the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic, a spatial analysis of the use of the institute of the first meeting with a registered mediator in civil court proceedings was conducted by district courts of the Czech Republic. Maps have been created to provide a spatial view of its distribution. For a more comprehensive approach, the authors supplemented them with an analysis of the types of disputes in which the first meeting with a registered mediator has been ordered by the district courts. It turns out that the application of the first meeting with a registered mediator is strongly spatially concentrated. At the same time, some relationships and factors that determine this spatial differentiation have been identified. A unique interdisciplinary interest on mediation in the Czech Republic is the result of the long-term research focus of the Faculty of Law in Olomouc as well as in Brno.
