How does mediation work in Connecticut?

  • Court programs and when mediation is required

    Connecticut's Judicial Branch offers several court ADR programs [1]. In civil cases, parties can ask for Judicial ADR (formerly court-annexed mediation), a settlement conference of at least half a day led by a Judge, Senior Judge or Judge Trial Referee; a presiding civil judge can also refer a case [1]. Housing matters, including summary process (eviction) cases, can go to landlord-tenant mediation [1].

  • Who can mediate in Connecticut courts

    For private mediation, the Judicial Branch does not keep a roster or endorse providers; the parties choose their own [1]. The Branch publishes the list of judicial officials available for J-ADR [1].

  • Confidentiality

    In contested divorce cases, the Court Support Services Division's Family Services offers mediation on custody, visitation, property and financial issues, and statements made in that mediation are confidential [1].
