A New Hampshire Notice of Mediation is a form document that is used to initiate mediation proceedings in the state of New Hampshire. It is a legal document that is typically signed by both parties involved in a dispute and provides information about the process of mediation and the parties’ agreement to proceed with it. The notice outlines the steps and procedures of the mediation process, the scope of the dispute, the costs associated with the mediation, and the contact information of the mediator. There are two types of New Hampshire Notice of Mediation: pre-filling and post-filing. The pre-filing Notice of Mediation is typically used prior to the filing of a lawsuit and is used to inform the parties that mediation is available and to encourage them to pursue it as an alternative to litigation. The post-filing Notice of Mediation is used after the filing of a lawsuit and informs the parties that they are required to participate in mediation before a trial can take place.
