First Circuit Mediation Pilot Program Approved

The Advocate reports that the Louisiana Supreme Court has approved a pilot mediation program for the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court will fund the voluntary program, which will provide for a free mediation within 60 days of an agreement to participate by all parties. The program is modeled after the system that is used in the federal courts, specifically the Fifth Circuit.
