Rule 18 Mediation project
The Judge may, at the completion of the pleadings, or at any other time prior to trial, refer to mediation any civil case except habeas corpus cases, election contests, appeals, or actions for injunctive relief.
(a) The mediator shall direct the parties and their attorneys to attend a mediation conference(s), either in person or by telephone, at the mediator's discretion. Such a conference shall be conducted by the mediator to consider the possibility of settlement, the simplification of the issues, and any other matters which the mediator and the parties determine may aid in the handling or the disposition of the proceedings.
(c) If some but not all of the issues in the case are settled during mediation, or if agreements are reached to limit discovery or on any other matter, the parties shall submit a joint statement to the Court enumerating the issues that have been resolved and the issues that remain for trial. This statement shall be submitted within thirty (30) days of the termination of mediation. Unsettled cases shall then be returned to the Court's active docket.
