Certified appellate specialist and mediator John Derrick talks to Jeff and Tim about mediating cases on appeal. John explains that some appellate courts have mediation programs because of a mission to promote settlement. But the courts’ job is to decide cases. John discusses the conflict between these two roles, including a story about an appellate justice who regretted volunteering he wished the case would settle, but then unsubmitting the case for a post-oral-argument mediation. (This case still didn’t settle.)
Some other items discussed:
- There are no mandatory settlement conferences on appeal: should there be? (No.)
- Why parties don’t want to settle on appeal, and what counsel can do about it.
- The importance of stays and posttrial motions.
- Should judges be in the business of mediating?
- When to notify the court about a possible settlement.
- The pros and cons of Zoom mediations.
- As a former publisher, John urges attorneys to use decimal-outline format for headings, i.e., 1., 1.1., 1.2., 2., etc.
