Notes:
- These statistics were compiled principally from the court's ECF system as of November 6, 2012.
- Most cases are not referred until at least 90-120 days after filing, and some cases are referred much later. Accordingly, additional referrals for cases filed in 2010 are still expected, particularly with respect to settlement conferences.
- Multiple ADR sessions may be held in any given case, and this is particularly true of settlement conferences and mediations.
