How does mediation work in Lehigh County?

Parents in a Lehigh County custody case must attend COPE, a three-hour co-parenting class held at the courthouse twice a month, and ignoring an order to attend can bring a contempt finding [1]. After e-filing, parties are scheduled for a conciliation conference with a custody hearing officer, a court-employed attorney who explores settlement and decides whether the case goes to trial [1][2]. Civil claims of $50,000 or less go to compulsory arbitration, heard at the Bar Association of Lehigh County's Allentown office [3]. The court is judicial district 31 [4]. The few mediators below come from federal bankruptcy court panels for Pennsylvania's Eastern and Middle Districts [5][6].
