Listen "Appellate Mediation in Nevada: Inside Nevada's Settlement Program (Ep. 46)"
Episode Synopsis
Description: On this episode of I'll Allow It, Nevada!, we are joined by Nevada Settlement Judge Ishi Kunin to explore the Nevada Supreme Court's Settlement Program, an alternative dispute resolution program designed to help parties resolve appellate cases through mediation. Settlement Judge Kunin explains how the program works, what parties and attorneys can expect when a case is assigned, and why mediation can be an effective and efficient path to resolution. Since its creation in 1997, the program has successfully settled over half of the cases referred to it, saving time, costs, and stress for those involved in appellate litigation. Whether you're an attorney, judge, or simply interested in how Nevada's courts promote collaboration and resolution, this episode offers a thoughtful look inside one of the judiciary's most impactful programs.
