California Kicks Off Mediation Week

The state Judicial Council, the governing body of the California court system, officially declared at a meeting in San Francisco on Friday that Mediation Week will be observed on March 15-21.

California Chief Justice Ronald George, who chairs the council, said, "Mediation programs offer the public an important alternative to resolving disputes outside the traditional adjudication system."

George added, "Mediation Week is an opportune occasion to educate the public about the availability and benefits of mediation programs, and to recognize the people who make those programs successful." (More)
