ANNOUNCEMENT

 

In an effort to rectify a substantial backlog in our docket, the board has determined it necessary to temporarily suspend the mediation program (except for pro se litigants, tax commissioner cases and cases already scheduled for mediation conferences.)  The board encourages parties to actively engage in private settlement discussions during this suspension period.  Parties will be notified when the board is able to fully re-implement the program.  If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact the board’s Chief Attorney Examiner.
