Rule 22 Clerks of Court

Clerks of court in every county handle the paperwork side of alternative dispute resolution cases. This means they keep records, update court dockets, and maintain lists of cases going through mediation or arbitration.

Clerks also make sure everyone involved stays informed. They notify the court, the parties, and their attorneys about important deadlines or updates. They also send out official orders when needed.

Basically, this rule makes sure someone is responsible for keeping ADR cases organized and moving forward. Without this administrative support, cases could get lost in the system or people might miss important notices about their case.
