Judge Alex Kozinski is right, and this is one of the few times I agree with him. ("Court-ordered mediation often fails to deliver," June 8). Forced mediation is a joke and an insult to the lawyers involved. We all know alternate dispute resolution methods are available, and we all would like to resolve cases efficiently and quickly. However, we also know when it's possible and when it's not, and we don't need judges second-guessing us because they want to clear their calendars.
