Office of Mediation and Arbitration

Appellate mediation is designed to provide a final opportunity at the Supreme Court level to resolve most non-criminal cases. The Appellate Mediation Program is part of an ongoing effort by the Judicial Branch to offer alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as an efficient, cost-effective method for settling disputes at all levels of court. The Appellate program is voluntary and is subject to screening for appropriateness by the Court and the Office of Mediation and Arbitration.
