ABOUT THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
Please be advised that this case is assigned to the Medical Malpractice Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) track in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. Pursuant to the Courts and Judicial Proceedings of the Annotated Code of Maryland (Section 3-2A-06C) and Maryland Rule 17-203, the Court is required to order the parties to engage in ADR at the earliest possible date.
The parties and attorneys may notify the court of their agreed selection of a mediator at the Scheduling Conference or within 15 days by sending noticed to the ADR Coordinator. Any selected ADR Provider must abide by the “Maryland Standards of Practice for Mediators, Arbitrators and other ADR Practitioners,” and must conduct ADR proceedings and report to the Court on the outcome of those proceedings as required in CJ Section 3-2A-06C.
Within 15 days of notice of the identity of the assigned ADR Provider, a party may object in writing to the designation stating the reason for the objection. Objections will be reviewed by the Administrative Judge. If the objection is sustained, another mediator will be assigned to the case, otherwise, the initial appointment will remain as assigned by the Court.
The assigned mediator will be paid $200 per hour, the cost of which will be shared equally between the plaintiffs and defendants in the case, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.
