California Academy of Mediation Professionals
(CAMP)                                                                         














The California Academy of Mediation Professionals (CAMP)
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality
mediation services as an effective and efficient alternative to
formal court proceedings for the resolution of disputes.  
Established in 1995, CAMP receives funding from the Los Angeles
County Dispute Resolution Program Act.  The California Academy
of  Mediation Professionals offers mediation services to Superior
Court cases, to Small Claims Court cases, and to private cases.

WHAT IS MEDIATION?
Mediation is a private, voluntary process that allows parties to
settle their own disputes with the assistance of a neutral, trained
third party—a mediator.  The mediator assists in the identification
of issues, generates options, and facilitates a mutually acceptable
agreement.

Mediation does not involve a decision by the mediator.  Rather,
the parties determine the outcome of the case.  In order to
encourage the free exchange of information, all mediation
sessions are confidential.  The mediated agreement is a contract
that becomes a legally binding document signed by the parties
and the mediator.  The contract may be entered as evidence in
court if the terms of the agreement are not fulfilled.

MEDIATION IS QUICK!
Mediation is a much quicker way to resolve disputes as it does
not get bogged down by the crowded court system.  Once
parties agree to participate, a mediation can be scheduled as
soon as possible.

MEDIATION IS FREE!
Funded by the Los Angeles County Dispute Resolution Program
Act, the first three hours of mediation for small claims cases and
court-mandated cases are free.
