Mediation Statements
(a) CONTENT AND TIMING.
No later than seven days prior to the first mediation session, each party shall submit
directly to the mediator a confidential mediation statement, unless the mediator explicitly
waives this requirement. The mediation statement shall not exceed ten pages and shall
outline the underlying facts of the dispute, the key legal issues in the case, possible areas
of agreement and options for settlement, and the settlement history of the dispute, if any,
and include such other information as may be requested by the mediator. The mediation
statement shall also identify, by name and title or status:
(1) the person(s) with decision-making authority, who in addition to counsel, will
attend the mediation as representative(s) of the party; and
(2) persons connected with either party (including insurer representatives) whose
presence might substantially improve the utility of the mediation or the prospects
for settlement.
(b) CONFIDENTIAL NATURE OF STATEMENT.
Mediation statements shall not be filed with the Court or served upon other parties to the
lawsuit.
