The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) and the Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission have unveiled a new online portal for the courts and lawyers to track mediation work. The “one-stop shop” will increase efficiency by drastically cutting the amount of paper and labor needed to process continuing mediation education documents and other mediation-related records, the AOC reports. The system also will make it easier for the state’s 1,300 Rule 31 mediators to stay on top of their renewal statuses and reporting. The system will allow mediators to report on their cases and CLE attendance, update contact information and check whether payments and forms have been received and processed.
