7 mediators list El Dorado County as their home county on official California rosters.
El Dorado County's trial court is the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado [1]. The court offers ADR for all applicable civil cases, and its most-used procedure is the Dispute Resolution Conference, an early settlement conference run by volunteer attorneys serving as temporary judges [2]. At the Case Management Conference cases are reviewed for ADR; parties may instead choose mediation or arbitration, which they pay for under a separate fee agreement [2]. The mediators listed below come from the court's Mediation Panelist List, an undated PDF [3].
