The Judicial Branch will conduct a special statewide Settlement Conference Program on November 14 and 15, 2001. Judges will conduct the settlement conferences in all of the state’s thirteen judicial districts.

Counsel are encouraged to consult with the parties to pending civil cases to determine whether such cases may be resolved successfully under this program. Cases will be selected from a list of those that may be responsive to this settlement program.

Counsel should contact the presiding judge of the Civil Division, in writing, at the court location where the case is pending by September 21, 2001 to schedule a case for the program.

John J. Langenbach
Chief Administrative Judge
Civil Division
