Civil claims filed in the District Court are under the jurisdiction of Colorado's highest civil trial courts, which handle high-value and complex cases. Rules and procedures vary by jurisdiction, and parties filing without legal representation should be familiar with them.

 

Parties may be required to participate in mediation before a court hearing, during which a neutral third-party mediator facilitates a confidential agreement between them.

 

ODR mediation is a practical and cost-effective way of resolving civil claims in the District Court while safeguarding the parties' rights and privacy.
