Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)
Each California court must have a complaint coordinator, a person who knows about mediation. The presiding judge picks this person for the role.
If you have a complaint about mediation in your case, you can find out who the coordinator is and how to reach them. The court is required to make that contact information easy to find for anyone who needs it.
