Open Ninth Epsiode

When we think of our court system, our first thought is often of a trial. But what many don’t know is that not all cases filed go to trial. Instead, many go through a process called “mediation” where the two parties of a case work cooperatively with mediator to come to a resolution. Tune in to Open Ninth to hear Judge Tina Caraballo talk to Chief Judge Lisa Munyon about how mediation works here in the Ninth Circuit and why it can be a great alternative. OpenNinth.fm
