Mediation hearings

Mediation hearings are a separate hearing type in NyayX, designed for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) sessions that happen outside the court building — at mediation centers, law offices, or online.

How mediation hearings differ

Feature	Regular hearing	Mediation hearing
Venue	Court room	Mediation center / office
Purpose options	Arguments, Evidence, Judgment, etc.	Mediation session, Pre-mediation, Settlement
Outcome options	Adjourned, Disposed, Judgment reserved	Settled, Not settled, Adjourned, Withdrawn
Calendar color	Court color (from court colors)	Teal (fixed)

Adding a mediation hearing

1 Open Add Hearing

From the Hearings page or a case’s Hearings tab, click Add Hearing.

2 Set the Hearing Type to Mediation

In the Type field, select Mediation. The form adjusts to show mediation-specific Purpose and Outcome options.

3 Fill in details and save

Enter the date, mediator name (optional), venue, and purpose. Click Save. The mediation session appears on the Calendar in teal.

Note

Mediation hearings do NOT generate an NDOH automatically when “Adjourned” — mediation sessions are often re-scheduled informally. Add the next session manually using Add Hearing.
