Programs
The Center for Dispute Resolution at San Luis Obispo College of Law works closely with the community to build programs that meet the unique needs of San Luis Obispo County residents.
SLO County Small Claims Court
Under contract with San Luis Obispo County Superior Court, trained volunteers provide free mediation services for parties appearing in small claims court on the day of trial. The Center for Dispute Resolution at San Luis Obispo College of Law also offers pre-trial conflict coaching and mediation services for small claims court litigants to help resolve disputes before trial and individuals wishing to avoid filing a small claims court claim.
We invite you to schedule a consultation today or contact us for assistance with your situation.
