Small claims & county court mediators in Anne Arundel County, MD

How does mediation work in Anne Arundel County?

The Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County, at 8 Church Circle in Annapolis, runs an Alternative Dispute Resolution Program supported by the Maryland Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office (MACRO) [1]. MACRO's county guide lists separate Civil (non-family) and Family ADR Programs and says civil litigants will likely be ordered to attend both mediation and a pretrial settlement conference [2]. Contested custody, parenting plans and marital property disputes are also often sent to court-ordered mediation [2]. In the District Court, the ADR Office offers civil litigants free mediation and settlement conferences [2]. Nearly all Anne Arundel mediators below are on the Judiciary's MACRO statewide roster (Oct. 2026), some also on Baltimore County, Frederick, Harford or bankruptcy court lists [3][4][5][6][7].
