WHAT IS MEDIATION? Mediation is a voluntary process for resolving disputes with the help of a neutral third party, called a mediator. Mediation allows you and the other party to reach a mutually acceptable settlement of the cases instead of having to appear in court to have~a judge impose a decision on you. Mediation proceedings are confidential and conducted in private. The mediator will not provide legal advice, evaluate your case, or make any decision or judgment for you. However, the mediator will help you and the other party focus on reaching an agreement that is acceptable to all panies involved in the dispute. The mediator will draft a written agreement. WHEN CAN l GO TO MEDIATION? You may participate in mediation before your court appearance date regardless of where the case was filed. If you choose mediation, you are encouraged to contact the following agencies as soon as possible to schedule the mediation or to ask any questions that you may have: SMALL CLAIMS DISPUTES SANTA CLARA COUNTY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM SERVICES at (408) 792-2327 or email ogencase@ohr.sccgov.org or visit www.sccdrgsorg HOUSlNG 8: NEIGHBORHOOD DISPUTES SANTA CLARA COUNTY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM SERVICES Community Disputes at (408) 792-2327 or email opencase@ohr.sccgov.org or visit www.sccdrgsorg OR PROJECT SENTINEL Gilroy, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale at (408) 720-9888 The staff at the offices listed above will discuss the mediation process with you.

A mediator from the program will meet with you and the other party in your case. You may wish to call the dispute resolution program office ahead of time to try to resolve your Small Claims case before the hearing date. If your case is resolved through mediation, you and the other party will sign a document that outlines what you both have agreed to do. If you are not able to resolve your case through mediation, you will go to court and a judicial officer will hear your case. Mediation will not delay your opportunity for a court hearing. The Court, of course, hopes that the mediation will resolve the dispute and eliminate the need for court action. sc-aooe REV 01/01/16 NOTICE TO SMALL CLAIMS LITIGANTS Page 1 or 2 éuperim‘ QEuurt of QEaIt’fnrm’a ATTACHMENT SC-8006 flaunt? of éanta QEIura WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEDIATION? One of the advantages of mediation, compared with a trial, is that it allows the parties more time to present their issues and it allows options and resolutions to be discussed candidly and privately. As a result, the parties to a dispute can be in more control of the resolution than when a judge is involved. Mediation proceedings are confidential and conducted in private. Mediations can be conveniently scheduled at any time during the day, some early evenings, and on limited weekends.
