Judicial Survey Questions
Return To PreviousKAR Q4: What, if any, inquiries do you make about settlement prospects and/or interest in mediation at the initial scheduling conference?
KAR A4: I ask about the status of the settlement demand and response thereto, whether the case might be amenable to early resolution, and what the parties need in discovery to evaluate possible resolution. If appropriate, I set a deadline for the parties to report to the court whether the case should be referred to mediation.
