ADR Stipulation and Evaluation Instructions

In accordance with Local Rule 3.904(b), all parties going to ADR must complete a Stipulation and Order to ADR and file it with the Clerk of the Superior Court. In accordance with Local Rule 2.1.7, all parties, except for self-represented litigants, are required to file the Stipulation and Order to ADR electronically.

There is no filing fee for filing the stipulation. An incomplete stipulation will be returned to the parties by the Clerk’s Office. All stipulations must include the following: • Signatures for all attorneys (and/or parties in pro per); • The name and phone number of the neutral; • Date of the ADR session (date must include month, day and year. TBD or tentative responses will not be accepted); and • Service List (Counsel need not serve the stipulation on parties).

Parties mutually agree on a neutral and schedule ADR sessions directly with the neutral. If parties would like a copy of the Court’s Civil ADR Program Panelist List and information sheets on individual panelists, they may visit the Court’s website at www.sanmateo.courts.ca.gov/adr.

If Filing the Stipulation Prior to an Initial Case Management Conference To stipulate to ADR prior to the initial Case Management Conference (CMC), parties must file a completed stipulation at least 12 days before the scheduled Case Management Conference. The clerk will vacate the Case Management Conference, and the general civil action will be referred to the ADR Analyst [Local Rule 3.805(f)].

If Filing Stipulation Following a Case Management Conference or Following an Order to Vacate Case Management Conference and Order to ADR When parties are referred to ADR at the CMC, or parties receive an Order Vacating Case Management Conference and Order to ADR, they have 21 days from the date of the CMC or Order to file a Stipulation and Order to ADR with the Court [Local Rule 3.904(b)].

Post-ADR Session Submit post-ADR session evaluations within 10 days of completion of the ADR process. Evaluations are to be filled out by both attorneys and clients. A copy of the Evaluation by Attorneys and Client Evaluation will be mailed by the ADR department as the mediation session date approaches, or can be downloaded from the Court’s web site [Local Rule 3.905(c)].

If not all disputes are resolved through the ADR session, file a Statement of Nonagreement (ADR-CV-11) with the Court to facilitate the setting of a post-ADR Case Management and Trial Setting Conference before the assigned Civil Judge [Local Rule 3.905(b)].
