small claims court mediation
Do the parties have to pay for mediation in small claims court?
Re: small claims court mediation
In the counties where I practice, the mediations that happen on the spot at the pre-trial conference are paid for by the court not the parties. However, the parties can always stipulate to use a private mediator at any time during the case and pay for the service. Check with your specific court clerk and/or mediation coordinator.
