How does mediation work in Olmsted County?
Olmsted County is in Minnesota's Third Judicial District, and state law keeps permanent judicial chambers in Rochester [1]. Olmsted County's community resource list names the Olmsted County District Court for civil, criminal, traffic, family and child protection matters, and Mediation and Conflict Solutions for adult and youth mediation regardless of income [2]. That nonprofit is the certified community dispute resolution program serving Olmsted County [3]. In district court, Rule 114 expects parties to confer early about an ADR process and a neutral; if they cannot agree on a process, the court orders a non-binding one [4]. Our listings come from the Minnesota Judicial Branch's Rule 114 ADR Neutral Roster as of October 2026 [5].
