Lafayette Parish Bar Association

Bench-bar conference-annual event that encourages professional interaction between judges and attorneys.

Mediation and arbitration income comes from attorneys, firms, or court reporters who rent the mediation center rooms out for the day. The goal of the center is to provide users the opportunity to settle their disputes in an informal and confidential setting. Rather than having to litigate in court, the center lets parties gather in a geographically central location in a cost and time-effective way. This convenience, coupled with helpful support staff and state-of-the-art amenities, fosters collaborative and productive neutrality.
