DECLARATION AND OATH
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. I have read the rules of the Civil Early Settlement Conference Program. I agree to serve as an early settlement conference neutral and to faithfully discharge my duties under this program. I agree to be paid by the Court a maximum flat rate of $150.00 per case for up to three hours of my time. I agree to make arrangements directly with counsel and parties regarding my compensation for any time over three hours. I agree to accept at least one pro bono case per year.

I understand that the provisions of Evidence Code §1115 et seq., including those which provide for confidentiality, nonadmissability, and nondisclosure, do not apply. I agree to waive any and all claims against the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara in connection with my services for this program.
