LOS ANGELES: Three parishes ordered to mediation over property future
Lula said the parties were ordered to agree on a mediator in a week. Courts have lists of private mediators, which often are lawyers but do not have to be, or the parties could submit to mediation by Velasquez himself, Lula said.
