Conciliation

In several court counties, both district courts and superior courts schedule cases for conciliation conferences before retired judges or members of the bar usually acting on a volunteer basis, to assist the parties in settling their case or to ready the case for trial.  These sessions resemble mediations but are generally much shorter, typically between 30 to 45 minutes.  The conciliation is often scheduled after the discovery period for depositions etc., is complete and shortly before trial is scheduled.
