Ind. ADR Rule 2.2
Case Selection/Objection
Effective March 1, 1997
At any time fifteen (15) days or more after the period allowed for peremptory change of judge
under Trial Rule 76(B) has expired, a court may on its own motion or upon motion of any
party refer a civil or domestic relations case to mediation. After a motion referring a case to
mediation is granted, a party may object by filing a written objection within seven (7) days in a
domestic relations case or fifteen (15) days in a civil case. The party must specify the grounds
for objection. The court shall promptly consider the objection and any response and determ-
ine whether the litigation should then be mediated or not. In this decision, the court shall consider the willingness of the parties to mutually resolve their dispute, the ability of the parties
to participate in the mediation process, the need for discovery and the extent to which it has
been conducted, and any other factors which affect the potential for fair resolution of the dispute through the mediation process. If a case is ordered for mediation, the case shall remain
on the court docket and the trial calendar.
