Superior Court of California: San Joaquin: Mediation

Description

The San Joaquin County Superior Court Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)/Mediation program provides mediation services for conflicts that arise between family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, employers, business partners, vendors, customers, and others. Mediation can be used in place of a legal process. If the mediation does not resolve the dispute, the case will proceed to a settlement conference with the court, if necessary.

Parties already in a family law case will be assigned mediation at a scheduled hearing if appropriate.

Notes

The Civil Mediation Program is a voluntary court-approved program designed to deliver high-quality affordable mediation services to attorneys and litigants in general civil cases. Mediation gives litigants a voice in settlement decisions and thereby allows participants to play a more direct role in managing the outcomes of their own cases.
