How does mediation work in Randolph County?
Randolph County is in the Twenty-Fourth Judicial Circuit, which the legislature created effective December 5, 2022 from Randolph, Monroe, Washington and Perry counties, formerly part of the 20th Circuit [1][2]. The courthouse is at One Taylor Street in Chester, and self-help is offered in the third-floor conference room [3]. The circuit publishes a court-appointed GAL and mediator reference list that can be filtered by county and by family or civil mediator [4]. Most mediators below come from that list, with others from the St. Clair family mediator list and the First Circuit list [4][5][6].
