Mediation and Arbitration Scheduling
To request a mediation or binding arbitration with Roger Kramer, please call Mr. Kramer’s legal
assistant/case manager Rachel Rolseth at 651-789-2923 or send an email with the following information:
Case name and venue
Names of the parties, lawyers and their firms
Case type
ADR deadline if applicable
Proposed dates or timeframe for the hearing
Mediations are scheduled in half-day or full-day increments. If follow-up sessions are needed, those
sessions will be scheduled at or after the first hearing. A full-day time slot is generally reserved for
binding arbitrations.
Once our office receives the information necessary to schedule the case, we send the attorneys a
preliminary email confirmation and a link to our online scheduling system, generally within 1 to 3
business days. A detailed confirmation letter and mediation agreement is mailed to the attorneys after
the hearing date is set. The hearing date is set once all parties have responded to the online scheduler.
For matters other than mediations or arbitrations, or for unique scheduling needs, please contact our
office.

Mr. Kramer’s fees are charged by the hour with a minimum fee of two hours. Please contact our
office for fee rates and cancellation policies.
Materials and Submissions
Mediations. Because Mr. Kramer conducts evaluative mediations, he requests all pertinent
materials and documents that assist in evaluating the claims being made and defenses being
asserted are available to him at least two days before the hearing.
Arbitrations. Materials should be submitted in accordance with Minnesota Rule 114 and
exchanged with each side at least one week prior to the hearing in order to have sufficient time to
handle any objections or motions. In order to assure fairness and avoid preconceptions, Mr.
Kramer does not review materials prior to the hearing except for the Statement of the Case. He
thoroughly reads all submissions and provides written findings of fact to the parties after the
hearing.
Specific details regarding materials and submissions are sent to the parties in the scheduling
letter. Materials may be sent to our office via email, fax 651-905-2933, or US mail.
