How does mediation work in Colorado?

Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07

  • Court programs and when mediation is required

    Colorado's court-connected mediation runs through the Office of Dispute Resolution (ODR), which the Colorado Dispute Resolution Act created in 1983 and which sits in the State Court Administrator's Office [1]. You do not need an active court case to use an ODR mediator [2]. ODR does not refer parties to a particular mediator; the parties agree on one from ODR's list, contact that mediator directly to schedule, and mention ODR to receive the ODR rate [2]. ODR's services also include mandatory mediation between landlords and tenants before an eviction is filed [2].

  • Who can mediate in Colorado courts

    To be considered as an ODR contract mediator, a person must have completed at least 40 hours of basic mediation skills training [2].

  • Cost

    ODR works through more than 60 contract neutrals to make mediation available in every judicial district, including services for parties who cannot afford to pay [1].
