Courthouse's process for neutral evaluation
Part # 1 Mediation : This is the part of the ADR process where both the defendant and the plaintiff meet their assigned counsel who is a neutral party without any vested interests in the outcome of the trial , if there is one.
Part #2 Case Position and Settlement Options : Both the defendant and the plaintiff make their position on the case very clear and offer settlement options
Part#3 Negotiation and Mediation : Their assigned counsel who is a neutral party helps the defendant and the plaintiff reach a fair settlement after throughly going through their cases and arguments.
Early neutral evaluation, which is primarily an ADR process, is found in federal court rather than state trial court because US Federal Court Laws are uniform across the country however State Court's laws may differ for each state. This level of uniformity in law helps reach a fair settlement and doesn't allow either of the parties to take advantage of state specific laws.
The other reason being Federal Courts are normally courts where Federal Trials are also prosecuted. This is especially true for financial crimes and blue collar crimes. Whenever there's a case where it's the United States of America vs the defendant, the government tries to reach a settlement via a financial fine etc through a Federal Court.
For eg Jordan Belfort spent 4 years in federal prison along with a fine of $110 million in restitution. This was a Federal Case and was filed through a Federal court where a fair settlement was reached.
