Wisconsin Request for Court-Ordered Mediation is a process in which two parties can seek a court-ordered or court-referred mediation to resolve their dispute. It is a voluntary process that is administered by the Wisconsin Circuit Court and is used to help parties resolve disputes without the expense and delays of a trial. In Wisconsin, there are two types of court-ordered mediation: Mandatory Mediation and Voluntary Mediation. Mandatory Mediation is when the court orders both parties to participate in mediation as a part of a lawsuit. It is ordered by the court when the parties have filed a motion, or the court has determined that there is a dispute that should be mediated. The court will appoint a mediator and both parties must attend the mediation session. Voluntary Mediation is when both parties agree to participate in a mediation session without the court ordering them to do so. The parties can select their own mediator or the court can appoint one. This type of mediation is often used as a way to settle disputes without the need for a trial. Both types of Wisconsin Request for Court-Ordered Mediation are designed to help parties resolve their disputes in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The mediator works with the parties to help them come to an agreement that is fair and acceptable to both.
