家事事件往往涉及家庭內的隱私，同時因家事事件具有非理性與流動性的特質，當事人意志往往會隨情緒轉變而反覆不定，不像財產關係可以明白確定當事人的意思。因此，若想要藉由一般訴訟程序作劃一性的處理，只會增加當事人間的對立，有時恐難達到具體妥當的效果。是以，家事調解制度往往是家事審判制度中解決家事糾紛的重要一環。但如果當事人已發生暴力衝突時，加害人可能不會與被害人合作，被害人在加害人的脅迫下有時亦很難有自由選擇權，而作出不利於己的讓步。但並非所有案件皆存在此種權利不對等現象，故並非所有家庭暴力案件皆不得調解，只是需有更爲完善的調解制度來妥善處理此類案件。本研究透過法院調解委員之問卷調查發現，爲提升法院調解委員調解家庭暴力案件之能力，未來法院若要針對此類案件進行調解，首先應該加強教育，讓調解委員對於家庭暴力案件性質有清楚的認知，第二則是加強調解環境的佈置，除有一定的調解程序可供調解委員遵循外，提供安全的調解場所亦同樣重要。

Family incidents are usually involved with family's privacy. Due to the nature of family incidents with non-rationality and liquidity, the party's intention often changes with emotional volatility, unlike property relations that can understand the meaning of the parties to determine. It will only increase the antagonism between the parties and decrease its effectiveness if the family cases are uniformly proposed by a general suit procedure. Accordingly, family mediation is a very important approach to resolve family disputes in family justice system. However, if domestic violence has occurred, the perpetrator may not cooperate with the victim. Under offender's oppressing, victim is sometimes difficult to own the free choice right and makes concessions unfavorable to her or himself. Not all cases exist such relation of unequal right, so not all domestic violence cases can not be mediated. Rather, it needs more comprehensive mediation system to handle such incidents properly. This study surveys court mediation committee members through questionnaire to collect the necessary data. In order to increase the effectiveness of mediation, this study finds that committee members should receive more professional education to have a more clear understanding of the nature of such cases. Additionally, environmental arrangement and design is also critical to the effectiveness of mediation. Committee members should be provided the well-set mediation procedure to follow, but provision of a secure environment is equally important.
