How does mediation work in Napa County?
Napa County's trial court is the Superior Court of California, County of Napa [1]. Its voluntary mediation program, built with the Napa County Bar Association, takes civil, probate, trust, estate, guardianship, conservatorship and family law cases when all parties agree; custody and visitation go to Family Court Services instead [2]. Panel mediators give the first three hours of three mediations a year free, and mediation must finish within 60 days of referral [2]. The court's Mediation Program Coordinator is at NapaADR@napa.courts.ca.gov [2]. The few mediators listed below come from other official panels [3][4].
