Judicial Survey Questions
Return To PreviousDJC Q4: What, if any, inquiries do you make about settlement prospects and/or interest in mediation at the initial scheduling conference?
DJC A4: I inquire about whether the plaintiff(s) has made a settlement demand. If one has not yet been made (or if the defendant(s) have not yet responded to that demand), I set a short date for the parties to do so. I also inquire about the parties' interest in being referred to a magistrate judge for mediation
