How does mediation work in Leelanau County?

Leelanau County belongs to Michigan's Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, which consists of Antrim, Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties and has two elected circuit judges.[7] In Leelanau, the probate judge also presides over the Circuit Court–Family Division, which handles domestic relations matters.[8] Under the Michigan Court Rules, the circuit court may order a civil case to mediation, and if the parties do not choose a mediator, the ADR clerk assigns one from the approved list by rotation.[9] The circuit's general civil mediator list shows each mediator's fee.[1] It also names CRS, Inc., whose volunteer mediators offer free and low-cost mediation for people who cannot afford a private mediator.[1] The three mediators listed below are located in Leelanau County and appear on court-approved mediator lists, one of them the Thirteenth Circuit's civil list.[1]

These mediators say they work with Michigan clients online. They are on other states’ official rosters (shown on each listing), not Michigan’s. Where they serve is their own statement.

Court-ordered case? Courts may require a mediator from their own approved list for court-ordered cases. Check your court’s rules, or see how mediation works in Michigan.

Court-connected mediation in Michigan: Michigan circuit courts keep their own lists of mediators who met court-rule training requirements, and court clerks appoint only from those lists. Some courts encourage parties to pick their own mediator; the court rules themselves were not reviewed.

Private mediation in Michigan: No state license for private mediators was found in the sources reviewed. A State Bar of Michigan ethics opinion says a lawyer-mediator may not draft all the divorce papers for both parties while acting only as mediator.
