disagree  Jennifer Levey: Your mis-quoted example should read: "The Meditations of (MAA)" - it's the title of a book (actually, series of books).

agree  philgoddard: Your reference is wrong, but it can be pluralised. For example a lawyer might say I had three mediations this morning.

Mediation sessions


Explanation:
Mediation is a service that some law firms and other trained professional offer to help in resolving disputes between various parties so that they can achieve an agreement or compromise. It is an alternative for going to court, which is a more adversarial, lengthy and costly process. If a person is involved in mediation, they would be attending mediation sessions.
