The Fifth District Court of Appeals established a mediation program in 2020. Appellate mediation allows the parties to reassess the strengths and weaknesses of their case and to explore settlement before pursuing further litigation in the court of appeals. Even if a case does not settle at mediation, it gives the parties an opportunity to clarify the legal issues and address procedural matters.
