How we counted

  • Source: the Florida Dispute Resolution Center (Florida Supreme Court) certified mediator list, downloaded 2026-10-06. We count a person once even if they hold several certifications.
  • Certification types are as the roster states them.
  • “Attorney background” means the roster lists the person as an attorney or Florida Bar member. Out-of-state bar membership alone isn't counted.
  • Not counted: mediators with no county (191), and listings from other rosters or states.
  • Population: U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Census (P.L. 94-171), total population by county.
