In Alberta (Edmonton anyhow) the lawyers are present with a judge. You both present your brief 30 days before the JDR. JDR is conducted (in Edmonton) in a conference room in the Law Courts Building. BINDING JDR means that you both accept the judge's decision. You have to both agree to this before you enter into the JDR. Any other type of JDR (IMO) is a waste of time and just like those things in Ontario where you basically test your case with a senior lawyer. Silly and IMO the only people who benefit from that farce are the lawyers.
Nice thing about JDR is that is is quick and it is not published and you don't go through the witness thing. It's a one-shot deal. Usually takes a day or less instead of a lengthy trial. I highly recommend this. My ex and I did this (30 yrs marriage). When it comes down to everything it's really just about the money anyhow.
