Instructions for Remote Sessions

Zoom Remote Sessions

Plus other resources related to remote hearings

Recently, so much of our daily routines, both personal and work-related, have been severely impacted by health & safety restrictions and concerns. And even during the best of times, parties may decide (in cooperation with MARS) that convenience and budgets allow for ADR hearings to be conducted REMOTELY using state-of-the-art video conferencing services and platforms. These platform services allow the parties (and their lawyers as appropriate) to fully engage in mediation, while preserving all of the separation and confidentiality appropriate we are accustomed to for in-person sessions. MARS continues to provide the same uncompromised level of service to all.

Ample time (and free instructional support) will be provided prior to any remote hearing for participants to become sufficiently adept to such remote platform services.
