How does mediation work in Westmoreland County?
Westmoreland County's Court of Common Pleas sits in the county courthouse in Greensburg (724-830-3826).[3] Federal cases from the county belong to the Western District of Pennsylvania,[4] whose Local Civil Rule 16.2 offers court-sponsored mediation, early neutral evaluation and arbitration.[5] Under that rule, parties must discuss and, if possible, agree on an ADR process at their Rule 26(f) conference; if they cannot agree by the scheduling conference, the judge decides.[5] Most mediators listed below appear in the Western District's ADR neutral search.[1]
