The Colorado federal district court permitted statements during mediation to be included in a malpractice complaint by a client against his attorneys describing advice given privately during a mediation held under the auspices of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The district court rejected arguments that the mediation confidentiality rules of the appellate court should control, and pursuant to the local rules of the district court merely required the dollar amounts of the mediation settlement offers and specific statements made during the mediation process to be removed from the complaint.
