  Big Changes: California has enacted fourteen new statutes governing your mediations and the enforceability of your mediation settlements. Mediation laws across seven different California codes were repealed, amended and unified into a new chapter on mediation (Evidence Code Sections 1115-1128). It governs mediations in nearly every sector &endash; including civil actions, family, insurance, employment, environmental, community, labor-management, and agency actions.

  For full text of the new chapter and the official explanations of how they are to be interpreted, please click here.
