Lafayette Parish is served by the 15th Judicial District Court, which has original jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters in Lafayette, Acadia and Vermilion Parishes, with 13 elected judges, one commissioner and five hearing officers [1]. Its Family Court system uses hearing officer conferences, follows the Louisiana Supreme Court's Title IV family law rules, and runs the Kids First family court intervention program [2]. The three Lafayette mediators listed below come from federal court lists: the Western District of Louisiana bankruptcy court's mediator list and the Middle and Western District hurricane-claims panels of neutrals [3][4][5].

Court-connected mediation in Louisiana: In Louisiana civil cases sent to mediation, parties may agree on any mediator. If they do not agree within 15 days, the court appoints from the State Bar ADR Section's approved register. Custody mediators have separate statutory qualifications.
Private mediation in Louisiana: No state license for private mediators was found in the sources reviewed. Louisiana's lawyer conduct Rule 5.5(c)(3) lets out-of-state lawyers temporarily handle work tied to mediations; no rule on out-of-state or online mediators themselves was found.
