How to Register as a General Civil Mediator with the Georgia
Office of Dispute Resolution: Step 1: Complete an
approved 28-hour General Civil Mediation Training. Choose one of
these approved
trainers. If you were trained outside of Georgia, see
this
information.
Step 2: Observe or co-mediate 5 court-connected civil
mediations in Georgia under a registered mediator. These
observations/co-mediations can be of civil cases in superior,
state, magistrate, landlord/tenant, or probate court. They must
be civil cases (no divorce, custody, juvenile, deprivation,
etc). Contact the director of the
ADR program
in your area or for which you would like to work and ask
permission to observe. Make sure to document the observations on
an form that includes the court name, case name, mediation date,
mediation outcome, your name, and the mediator’s name and
signature. You also have the option to take an approved 12-hour
practicum
course as a substitute for the 5 required
observations/co-mediations. Don’t forget, all trainings expire
within 18 months. If you do not apply for registration within 18
months of your completing your training (not your practicum),
you will be required to take the training over.
Step 3: Either complete the registration application
online or
download, complete,
and send in with copies of your training certificates and your
observation forms.
