SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN MATEO MULTI OPTION ADR PROJECT HALL OF JUSTICE AND RECORDS 400 COUNTY CENTER REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA 94063 Monica Rands-Preuss Senior Managing Attorney ADR & Legal Support Services Michelle Cesario ADR Program Coordinator Telephone: (650) 599-1238 Facsimile: (650) 599-1754 E-mail: mrands-preuss@sanmateocourt.org Telephone: (650) 599-1073 Facsimile: (650) 599-1754 E-mail: mcesario@sanmateocourt.org Instructions for ADR Program Panelist Application Thank you for your interest in San Mateo Superior Court's Civil and/or Probate ADR Program. The ADR Program Advisory Committee, which includes representatives of the San Mateo Superior Court, Bar Association and community, reviews panelist applications approximately once a year. Please call for the annual deadline date. The ADR Program is committed to making available to the public a core group of qualified, dispute resolution professionals who may be privately retained by parties to help in the resolution of their dispute. Although applicants may meet the minimum training and experience requirements outlined in the application, these qualifications represent a floor not a ceiling for panelists. The program must limit the number of qualified panelists who serve on the panel at any one time. Presently, we are looking for individuals who either add to the professional and/or personal diversity of our current panel or who specialize in areas in which there is a demonstrated need for additional panelists. If you are applying to the court's Probate ADR Program, please add a narrative sheet detailing your probaterelated experience. When completing the application, please be as specific as possible, especially with regard to the number of hours of training you have received and the number of mediations and/or arbitrations you have conducted. In San Mateo Superior Court cases, parties have the choice of either selecting a neutral from our panel or selecting a neutral who is not affiliated with the court's program. The selection of the neutral rests entirely with the parties. Since parties have the option to select whomever they would like to handle their case, the Civil ADR Program acts as a starting point for parties to find qualified neutrals; it does not limit the universe of potential providers. Feel free to contact us at (650) 599-1073 or (650) 599-1070 should you have any further questions.
