How does mediation work in Orleans County?

New Orleans has had a civil district court separate from its criminal court since the 1879 Constitutional Convention [2]. Today the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans has judges in Divisions A through N [1]. At the courthouse, a Self-Help Resource Center run by The Pro Bono Project and the Family Justice Center offers court-approved forms and legal information to people without lawyers in divorce, custody, child support and visitation matters [3]. The three New Orleans mediators listed below were named by federal courts as neutrals for hurricane insurance claims: two by the Middle District under its Hurricane Ida protocol and one by the Western District for Hurricane Laura and Delta claims [4][5].
