Mr. Morris is currently only accepting electronic delivery of Statement of Issues and Mediation Briefs, either by PDF, download link or by fax. A separate hard copy is not required.
Statement of Issues or Mediation Briefs are due 7 days prior to the mediation date and should be sent to both the mediator and opposing counsel.
If you wish to submit an additional and separate confidential brief or Statement of Issues to only the mediator, please advise in a cover letter or email and mark the document “CONFIDENTIAL – FOR MEDIATOR ONLY”
Currently, all mediations are conducted on Zoom. We send out the Zoom link one week prior to the mediation date. Private breakout rooms are set up for each Zoom session, so the parties and their counsel can meet in a confidential space.
Jeff will stay engaged in the mediation process and after 3 hours (half-day), his overtime rate will apply by the hour, or part thereof.
If the mediation is booked in the morning, Jeff may not be able to stay past 1 pm if he has another half-day mediation booked for the afternoon.
If you must have the flexibility to stay past the 3 hour mediation half-day, it is recommended to reserve Jeff for the full day, or for an afternoon mediation (Jeff can usually stay late after 5 pm).
