As amended through September 23, 2024
Rule 14.16 - DISQUALIFICATION OF A MEDIATOR
(a) Any party may file a motion before the Supervising Judge for court-ordered mediation to disqualify a mediator for good cause. If the Court rules that a mediator is disqualified from hearing a case, an order shall be entered setting forth the name of a replacement.
(b) If the parties agree on a replacement, the Court shall approve the replacement of a certified mediator and enter an Order for Mediation Conference which sets forth the name of the replacement mediator. If the parties cannot agree on a replacement, the Court shall appoint a certified mediator, and enter an Order for Mediation Conference and Appointment of Certified Court-Appointed Mediator.
(c) Nothing in this provision shall preclude mediators from disqualifying themselves or refusing any assignment. The time for mediation shall be tolled during any periods in which a motion to disqualify is pending.
(d) Any person selected or appointed to act as a mediator in any court-ordered mediation case shall be barred from representing any party in that case.
