Hats off to our Volunteers!
On January 27th the Court held an appreciation lunch for the 32 retired judges and attorneys who volunteered their time in 2009 to conduct settlement conferences. A total of 97 settlement conferences where held with a settlement rate of 45%. the work performed by these individuals was a significant help to the court, but even more so to the litigants. Hats off to them!
