• How the New Polish Civil Mediation Law Compares with the Proposed Eu Directive On Mediation

This article compares the Polish Mediation Law with the proposed European Union (EU) Mediation Directive.

A broad coalition of civil rights and labor organizations urge the Senate to support the amendment being offered by Senators Kennedy and Cantwell that would exempt civil rights and wage and hour state law cases from the scope of the bill.

The Los Angeles court system has already closed 17 courtrooms and another 50 will be shut down come September unless something is done to find more money. The judge who presides over the system predicts chaos and an unprecedented logjam of civil and family law cases in the worst-case scenario.
