Once a stipulation for early neutral evaluation is filed, the court appoints an evaluator from a panel maintained by the clerk's office. All parties are notified of the appointment. No person may serve as an evaluator in any action where a conflict of interest exists or is believed to exist. If a party believes that an assigned evaluator has a conflict of interest and does not bring the concern to the attention of the clerk within ten days of learning of the conflict, the party waives any objection based on that conflict. The court has not addressed this issue.
Evaluators receive no compensation for their service.
The clerk is responsible for administering the court's ENE program.
