Currently, The Third Judicial Administrative District Office of Dispute Resolution is only offering ENE and arbitration on a limited basis. However, anyone may coordinate the scheduling of the session by agreement. Once a case has been scheduled and confirmed, the ODR needs to be made aware of any changes immediately. The mandatory session cannot be changed unless an attorney scheduled to attend the arbitration with his or her client provides notice of legal conflict pursuant to Uniform Superior Court Rule 17.1 to this office. If a legal conflict shall arise, it is the responsibility of the attorney with the legal conflict to reschedule the session with everyone and the arbitrator.
All fees are to be shared equally regardless of the number of parties involved.
The fees for arbitration are different for each arbitrator. The parties must be prepared to pay the arbitrator at the time of the session. All requests for fee waiver or reduction must be made to the Office of Dispute Resolution prior to the session. If a scheduled arbitration is canceled without 48 hours notice to the arbitrator, a late cancellation fee will be charged to the parties. The amount of this fee will be equal to the hourly fee.
