Mediation
Mediation is a settlement process in which a neutral person, the mediator, helps the participants to negotiate a settlement of their dispute. Mediation is an entirely non-binding process. In other words, the participants are under no obligation to reach a settlement, nor will a settlement be imposed upon the participants by the mediator. Upon successful conclusion of the mediation session, however, the participants may voluntarily enter into a written agreement which is enforceable as a legally binding contract.
Ethics Advocate
If you need help through the filing process you may request an Ethics Advocate. An ethics advocate will give you advice and guidance from a certified Professional Standards individual through the grievance and arbitration process. Please contact TIGAR at 951-735-5121 to request an Ethics Advocate.
