Rule 5.11 . Mediation.

(a) Mediation of small claims cases is encouraged and is available to all parties who are interested in resolving their disputes without the need for a trial. Mediation services are available through the Neighborhood Justice Center at 702-455-3898 or [email protected] . Parties should provide a case number, if available, and contact information when contacting the Neighborhood Justice Center. (b) All mediation proceedings are settlement conferences. Evidence that any mediation effort or offer of settlement has occurred is inadmissible at the trial. Admissions of any party during a mediation proceeding are also inadmissible at the trial. (c) Unless otherwise ordered by the court, all cases in which a settlement is reached must have a written settlement or mediation agreement signed by both parties and filed with the court, or the terms of the agreement must be placed on the record. In the event that one party fails to comply with the agreement, the aggrieved party may file a motion to enforce settlement or mediation agreement. Such motion must be accompanied by an affidavit from the aggrieved party outlining the failure to comply.
