A judge may order the parties to an action to select a settlement alternative, including direct negotiation, early neutral evaluation, focus group, mediation, mini-trial, moderated settlement conference, summary jury trial, or binding or non-binding arbitration, either with or without consent of the parties. This order shall not delay the trial date, discovery, or other matters. Parties may select the method of ADR, the neutral, and the method of payment, though the court may make these decisions if parties cannot agree. The statute also discusses actions affecting families and admissibility.
