Either party to a dispute may request services by contacting the San Diego Mediation Center (SDMC) and providing the nature of the claim or counterclaim, the amount sought or other relief requested, and the names and contact information for all relevant parties. A party need not have the agreement of the opposing party to participate prior to contacting SDMC.

SDMC will contact all parties involved to pursue requested mediation or service. Once SDMC receives signed agreement from all involved parties, SDMC will schedule a date, time and location for the mediation services. SDMC will send written notice by U.S. Mail or by facsimile of the mediation date, time and place to the parties or their representative as appropriate.
