Domestic Alternative Dispute Resolution Legislation
In 2004, the 11th Circuit promulgated court procedures allowing litigants in civil appeals to have their dispute mediated by a private neutral who meets the court’s standards.
Under these procedures, the private neutral manages the mediation and the court’s chief mediator oversee the process. At the time, this was the first program of its type. Under most federal appellate programs, circuit court or court-appointed neutrals handle all cases referred to mediation.
The mediation procedures (available at www.ca11.uscourts.gov/offices/ mediation.php) are set forth below.
