Mediation is an informal and non-adversarial process for parties and/or their attorneys to discuss and hopefully resolve their dispute with the assistance of a mediator. The mediator, a neutral third-party, guides the discussion but has no authority to decide the case. Mediators do not provide legal or financial advice. If an agreement is reached, the agreement will be put in writing, signed by the parties and/or their attorneys, and submitted to the Court for review and approval. Once the agreement is approved and entered by the Court, the case will be closed. If no agreement is reached, the case will be placed on the next available calendar for a trial.
