Civil Harassment Court Mediation

Part Time Mediator

The Civil Harassment Court Mediation (CHCM) program was initiated in 1990 by the Sacramento Mediation Center, now a program of California Lawyers for the Arts (CLA). This program developed in response to overcrowding in the courts and an increasing number of people seeking to resolve personal and neighborhood conflicts through court action. The program is intended to reduce the number of cases heard by the judge and to educate the users of Civil Harassment Court, and other community members, of the advantages of mediation as a way to resolve conflict.
