§ 3175 Mediation Timing Requirements

• •Mediation must happen before or at the same time as a court hearing.
• •The court won’t let you skip mediation if it’s required.
• •This is to help people solve problems without a big court fight.

Two neighbors are fighting over a fence. They go to court.

The court will make them try mediation (talking it out with a helper) before or while the court case is happening.
