Judicate West
Request Judge Burns as your mediator or arbitrator.
He is a full-time neutral with Judicate West, based in San Diego and available nationwide and abroad. Counsel request him by name.
How to request him
1. Open the Judicate West inquiry
The form is already addressed to Judge Burns. Submit the case there so his calendar, conflicts, and case managers can take it.
2. Ask for him by name
Write “Hon. Larry A. Burns, Ret.” as the requested neutral. That is how parties get him on the matter rather than another member of the panel.
3. His case managers follow up
Mediation: Heather Reed. Arbitration and private judging: Heidi Adams. They will confirm dates, rates, and conflicts.
