private casts; and

restore harmony, improve relations among citizens and within
neighborhoods and families, and relieve the burden of litigation
which is overwhelming our judiciary, many of our oitizens have

range of disputes within our communities, paid far by filing fees
submitted by parties suing in our local courts; and

our community have volunteered to assist in the formation and
expansion of such mediation services to the general public,
businesses, and agencies in Butte County; and thousands of citizens
have been trained and are serving as mediators throughout
California to contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflict;

efforts to resolve disputes informally, out of court, with reduced
public and private expense, and with the potential for improving
community harmony and relieving the burden on our courts and law
