How does mediation work in San Joaquin County?
San Joaquin County's trial court is the Superior Court of California, County of San Joaquin [1]. Its Civil Mediation Program is voluntary and party-paid, started with a grant from the California Administrative Office of the Courts, and uses a panel of mediators trained by Pepperdine's Straus Institute [2]. All general civil cases may qualify, parties pick a mediator together and need not use the panel, and income-based financial help may be available [2]. Most mediators listed below come from the court's Panel of Mediators list, last revised in June 2024 [3].
