Court-Ordered Civil Case Mediation in North Carolina : An Evaluation of Its Effects

In 1991 the North Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation that required the state's Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to conduct a pilot program in superior court to determine if the Mediated Settlement Conference (MSC) program would improve the operation of superior courts, making them more efficient, less expensive, and more satisfying to the litigants. The AOC asked the Institute of Government to conduct a study to evaluate the MSC program. This publication describes the study's results. The report indicates that the program has achieved some of its objectives but could be even more effective.Clarke, Stevens H. is the author of 'Court-Ordered Civil Case Mediation in North Carolina : An Evaluation of Its Effects', published 1996 under ISBN 9781560112778 and ISBN 1560112778.
