How does mediation work in Oakland County?

Oakland County makes up Michigan's 6th judicial circuit under MCL 600.507 [1]. The Oakland County Circuit Court's Case Management Office in Pontiac (248-858-0350) runs a mediation page with lists of approved civil, domestic and probate mediators, brochures and mediator applications [2]. The court's ADR plan for civil and domestic cases is Local Administrative Order 2018-02, probate cases follow LAO 2018-01, and a separate mediation plan (LAO 2016-02) covers cases evaluated at no more than $25,000 [2]. Most mediators listed below are on the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan's Panel of Facilitative Mediators, and some come from the Macomb County 16th Circuit roster [3][4].

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.
