which a neutral third party facilitates
communication between people to resolve their
disputes. |

More
than 1,200 trained volunteer mediators,
arbitrators and facilitators representing every
ethnic and geographic element of Los Angeles
County are available to help resolve disputes.
Volunteer mediators are trained with a focus on
cultural diversity and violence prevention. They
are required to complete 40 hours of classroom
training and 120 hours of supervised case handling
prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Completion under the California Dispute Resolution
Programs Act of 1986. New volunteer mediators are
recruited and trained approximately four times a
year. DRP mediators are not attorneys. They do
not give legal advice. |
|
The
DRP mediates all types of civil disputes including
the following: |
• Landlord-Tenant
• Neighbor - Neighbor
• Business - Business
• Consumer - Merchant
• Student - Student
• Contracts
• Personal Injury
• Accidents
• Group - Group
• Community related
• Member - Group
• Employer - Employee
• Employee - Employee
• Domestic Relations
• Real Property
|
|
Often
times, conciliation of the dispute can take place
over the telephone. However, sometimes
face-to-face mediation at a neutral location is
necessary. |
