Please be advised that after April 8, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) will temporarily stop accepting new applications for its mediation panel, the court’s roster of volunteer attorney-mediators, to conduct a review of the program’s eligibility criteria. However, the SDNY’s Mediation Program will continue to provide mediation services to the court’s litigants as usual.  Applications for the mediation panel that were submitted to the court prior to April 8, 2013 will continue to be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
