Re: mediation hearing

If you are an individual party you do have the right to represent yourself. HOwever, if there is a large amount of money at stake I would be very reluctant to represent myself if I were you.

Corporations can only appear in court through attorneys. This does not include small claims court. Mediation is not a court proceeding.

Let me know if you have any further questions on the issue.
