Santa Barbara Superior Court’s CADRe Program is fast approaching its third birthday this summer. The program continues to enjoy more than satisfactory resolution rates and favorable post-process evaluations.

CADRe’s statistical reports are available on the CADRe website in PDF format at www.sbcadre.org/cadre/stats.htm. Look for updates around the first of every month. A recent addition to the statistics section [already generating some interest] is a sheet listing the agreement rates for individual CADRe mediators for both the Limited Mediation and CADRe Mediation cases. You can review this data yourself on the CADRe website at www.sbcadre.org/cadre/docs/MediatorAgr.pdf. It’s also available in the CADRe offices.

There’s also a new site map up on the CADRe website to try to make navigation as easy as possible for users of the site.

The CADRe Mediation panel now numbers 63. Recent enrollees on the CADRe panels include Greg Lowe and Ann G. Anderson of Santa Barbara, Hon. Etta Gillivan (ret) of Camarillo, Carolyn Beaver of Port Hueneme, Hon. Warren Conklin (ret) of Atascadero, Lucille Fontaine of Marina del Rey, and Janet R. Fields of Calabasas.

As many of you know, I’m up in the Santa Maria office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays now, so the Santa Barbara office is closed on these days. You can reach me in Santa Maria at 805/346-7404, but you can always leave a message for me at the Santa Barbara number (805/568-3124). I check the voicemail system several times each hour when I’m out of the office and I will promptly return your call. Both offices will be closed for vacation from June 3 through June 10.

As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions on how the CADRe office might better serve your needs. You can reach me by phone at 805/568-3124, or by e-mail at cprofio@sbcourts.org.

Thank you,

Chris Profio
CADRe Director
