  Last spring, in what has been referred to as “a transformational move to advance the delivery and quality of civil justice,"  Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence K. Marks, supported by the Advisory Committee on ADR,  announced a system-wide initiative to presumptively refer parties to mediation or some other form of ADR in civil matters.   The 9th Judicial District has worked since then to formulate plans incorporating procedures to implement presumptive ADR within the district.  This program will explain the district-wide plan, its impact on the litigation process, and offer guidance for litigants and counsel through a panel discussion on the applicable rules and procedures. This is a CLE not to be missed!
