The Court has adopted interim Local Rule 4, posted on the Local Rules web page.  The Rule has been adopted on a pilot basis so the Court can evaluate the efficacy of using the State of Maine Judicial Branch’s Foreclosure Diversion Program (FDP) to resolve, through mediation, cases involving foreclosure of a mortgage of an owner-occupied residential property of no more than four units that is the primary residence of the owner-occupant.  A description of the pilot can be found on the Local Rules page and here.
