How does mediation work in Pierce County?
Under Pierce County Superior Court's local rule PCLR 16(c), some form of alternative dispute resolution is required before trial, apart from the exceptions the rule lists [1]. In civil and family cases without children, each side certifies at least 30 days before trial that it took part in ADR such as mediation, arbitration or a private settlement conference [1]. Parenting-plan disputes go to a court settlement conference instead, which a party may satisfy through another ADR process [1]. The court sits at 930 Tacoma Ave. S. in Tacoma, and the state directory names the Center for Dialog & Resolution as the county's dispute resolution center [2][3]. Mediators below come from the Western District of Washington's ADR list [4].
