Mediation
The primary dispute resolution service available through the DRC is mediation. Mediation is a process in which two or more people involved in a dispute meet at the DRC in a private, confidential setting, and with the help of a neutral person (mediator) work out their own solution to the dispute. Mediators do not make judgments, express opinions or give legal advice. Instead, they facilitate communication so the parties can find a solution of their own. A wide variety of cases can be successfully resolved through mediation such as neighborhood issues, family and friends (including pre- and post-divorce), real estate, landlord/tenant, consumer/merchant, employer/employee, business and small claims, and parent/adolescent.
CLM
Civil Litigation Mediation (CLM)
CLMs are offered for those cases that have already entered the litigation process. Cases must be deemed appropriate for mediation and each client may be represented by an attorney. These mediations are a half-day and utilize an attorney-mediator who is skilled in the use of joint and individual sessions.
