The Judicial Mediation Program is a voluntary program available to litigants who have commenced an appeal in a civil or family dispute in the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal. Litigants must submit a joint request for mediation which will be reviewed and, if appropriate, mediated by a judge of the Court of Appeal on a free, confidential and without prejudice basis. Litigants who are self-represented or cannot afford a lawyer have access to the services of a lawyer free of charge. A list of lawyers who have volunteered to provide their services for this program is maintained by the Canadian Bar Association’s Nova Scotia Branch.
