COVID-19 Update

On March 14, 2020, Judge Langham directed all state mediators to conduct mediations telephonically through March 27, 2020. 

Following reassessment of the current situation, that direction shall continue through April 30, 2020 (Thursday). The situation will be reassessed daily in the interim, and further communication will be forthcoming.

Upon assessment of the situation and progress, the mandate of telephonic mediation was extended April 24, 2020 through May 17, 2020 (Sunday). 

Upon further evaluation, the mandate of telephonic mediation was extended through May 18, 2020 through May 31, 2020 (Sunday).

The conduct of hearings, appearances for hearings specifically, remain in the discretion of the assigned judge. If a party wishes accommodation (telephonic appearance) or continuance, the appropriate course is to seek relief from the judge, Rule 60Q6.115. 

Your patience is both acknowledged and appreciated.
