How does mediation work in Maryland?
Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07Court programs and when mediation is required
Once a case is filed in Maryland, the court may suggest or require mediation or another ADR process, and the courts run their own mediation programs alongside private mediators and community mediation centers [1]. A court can order parties to attend mediation but cannot order them to agree, and if they do not settle the case goes forward [1].
Family and custody cases
Many circuit courts refer civil and family cases to mediators on court-approved rosters under Title 17 of the Maryland Rules [2]. Civil roster mediators need at least 40 hours of basic mediation training under Rule 17-205(a), and child access mediators need 20 more hours of family mediation training [2].
