Judicial Settlement Conference Program Judges

Retired Circuit Court Judges trained in mediation and settlement conference skills. Parties referred to the Judicial Settlement Conference Program may select from this list of judges to handle their matter. Judges holding remote conferences have indicated their availability for phone or online meetings, or both.  For online meetings, contact the judge to discuss the software platform, who will “host,” etc. 

For in person conferences, given statewide budgetary constraints, parties are asked to select a judge located within 100 miles of the settlement conference site when possible.

Note: The judges' services are free to the referred parties.

  • Once you have selected a judicial conference program judge, please call the circuit court where your case was filed to obtain that judge's contact information.
