How does mediation work in Georgia?

Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07

  • Court programs and when mediation is required

    The Georgia Supreme Court appoints the Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution to oversee court-connected ADR [1]. The Commission's statewide plan lets any superior, state, probate, magistrate or juvenile court offer mediation, non-binding arbitration or case evaluation as alternatives to trial [1]. The Supreme Court's ADR Rules set the statewide framework for these programs [2].

  • Who can mediate in Georgia courts

    The Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution is the Commission's administrative arm and approves trainings and registered neutrals [1]. Georgia does not certify mediators in a formal sense; instead, people who complete approved training and whose applications are approved are added to a registry of neutrals eligible for court-connected cases [3]. Registered neutrals must complete three hours of continuing education each year [4].
