Pre-Mediation
When arriving at the courthouse for Small Claims go to the Clerk’s Office, which is directly on your left as you go up the stairs. To mediate, you can use the empty courtroom on that floor or any other rooms that court staff identify as available.
Mediation
The clerk’s assistant will let parties know that the mediators have arrived. They will ask parties to meet mediators out in the hall after she has finished hearing the list. Mediators should then bring parties to designated mediation room.
Post-Mediation
After the case has been mediated (with or without an agreement) take the file down to the ground floor courtroom and hand it to the clerk or judge who referred the case. Copies of mediation documents can be made in the Clerk’s Office. Please be sure to leave court with a copy of paperwork so that you can send to MWI.
Uploading paperwork: Please add the case information and upload the paperwork under the court case in the portal. If you are having trouble with this step or have mediated multiple cases in one session, please email the scans to MWI at courtmediation@mwi.org.
