Judge-in-Chambers and Mediation

3/28/2016

0 Comments

 
I was recently asked by Bob Hosea, Civil Alternative Dispute Resolution Branch Chief at Multi-Door Dispute Resolution at D.C. Superior Court, to train for and to mediate in a new mediation program for Judge-in-Chambers.  Cases that I will be handling along with my fellow Multi-Door mediators will involve requests for temporary restraining orders. 

In general, the Judge-in-Chambers is responsible for handling a variety of emergency matters during the court's normal business hours that require expedited judicial decision-making. These emergency matters come from every division of the Court. Examples include:
  • Arrest, bench and search warrants
  • Authorization for medical treatment (medical emergency)
  • Temporary restraining orders
  • Writs of habeas corpus
  • Subpoenas for depositions
  • Motions to proceed in forma pauperis
  • Orders for the issuance of warrants and
  • advertising of seizure
  • Default decrees of condemnation
  • Enforcement of foreign judgments
  • Writs of replevin
  • Writs of attachment before judgment
  • Application for change of name (must have birth certificate to process application)
  • Petition to amend minor/adult birth certificate (must have birth certificate to process petition)
  • Petition to amend death certificate
  • Petition to amend marriage certificate
  • Friendly Suit - settlement involving minors
  • Bench Warrants re-issued
  • Marriage License waivers
  • Authorization to perform marriages application
  • Special Proceedings - out of state witness
I'm looking forward to helping out in this new program!
