At its March 1997 meeting, the Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules asked the Federal Judicial Center to undertake this survey to inform the committee's preliminary look at whether there is a need for national bankruptcy rules to govern mediation. The purpose of the survey is to determine the extent and severity of problems that the committee, lawyers, and mediators believe may affect mediation conducted after judicial referral.
