Presently, the Eighth Judicial District Court offers the following forms of ADR to parties who have civil cases in the district court:

  • Arbitration.  Arbitration is a process whereby a neutral third person, called an arbitrator, considers the facts and arguments presented by the parties and renders a decision.  Arbitration is an adversarial, typically non-binding procedure.  For more information, click here.
  • Mediation.  Mediation is a process whereby a neutral third person, called a mediator, acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties.  It is an informal and non-adversarial process of helping the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement.  For more information, click here.
  • Short Trial Program.  Short Trial Program is a substantive program providing expedited civil trials (jury and non-jury) through procedures designed to control the length of the trial, including, without limitation, restrictions on discovery, the use of smaller juries, and time limits for presentation of evidence.  For more information, click here.
