How does mediation work in Cumberland County?

In Cumberland County, the Superior Court, Maine's general-jurisdiction trial court and the only level where jury trials are held, shares the courthouse at 205 Newbury Street in Portland with the Portland District Court, both in court region 2 [1][2]. Court-connected mediation in small claims, eviction, family, debt collection and other civil cases is provided by the Judicial Branch's Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Service (CADRES), whose director's office is reached at (207) 822-0719 [3]. Superior Court civil parties may instead use non-binding arbitration or early neutral evaluation with a neutral they choose and pay [3]. The mediators below are drawn from the Judicial Branch's Superior Court Mediation Roster, which lists each neutral by county served [4].
