Effective June 1st, 2022, the Early Settlement Mediation – Southeast Program office will be implementing updated policies for cancellations and prescreen deadlines.
Due to current caseload and lead time for appointments, it is imperative that parties and counsel attend mediation as agreed upon at the time of scheduling. Last minute cancellations and/or failure to complete the prescreen in a timely manner create a backlog and prohibit other cases from the ability to secure a vacated appointment slot.
Effective June 1st, 2022:
- Any non-emergency requests for cancellations within 14 days of the mediation date will not be accepted and failure to appear will result in a no-show for the appointment, which may not be eligible for rescheduling
- Failure of either party/both parties to complete the required prescreen interviews (for family cases) within 14 days of mediation will result in a cancellation of the mediation, which may not be eligible for rescheduling
At this time, appointments are being scheduled out at least 6 weeks in advance due to volume of intakes, which offers adequate time to plan for the required prescreen and appointment. These policies will allow for the Early Settlement Mediation office to backfill appointments, mitigate case prolongment, and reduce the number of non-emergency cancellations that negatively impact parties, counsel, and the case.
Counsel, please inform your clients who have upcoming appointments of these new policies and encourage them to complete their prescreens at their earliest convenience.
Thank you and have a great day!
