The Court has an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program that offers settlement facilitation, which is similar to mediation, in which a neutral third party helps all the parties to a lawsuit come to an agreement on their own.
Settlement facilitators are attorneys with at least 5 years of experience in the subject matter of the case, plus mediation training and experience.
Settlement facilitators are not judges and do not make decisions for you. They also do not represent or give legal advice to either party. They can share legal information with both parties to help them make their own decisions to settle their case.
You can get all the forms and instructions for how to use the program at the Court’s Self-Help Center or by clicking on Forms, Alternative Dispute Resolution.
