E.D. La. LR 16.3.1
Alternative Dispute Resolution
If the presiding judicial officer determines at any time that the case will benefit from alternative
dispute resolution, the judicial officer may:
(a) refer the case to private mediation, if the parties consent, even if such mediation
efforts upset previously set trial or other dates;
(b) order nonbinding mini-trial or nonbinding summary jury trial before a judicial officer
with the parties’ consent; or
(c) employ other dispute resolution programs that may be designated for use in this
District.
All alternative dispute resolution proceedings are confidential.
