How does mediation work in Scott County?
Scott County is part of Minnesota's First Judicial District, and state law requires permanent judicial chambers in Shakopee [1]. Restorative and Mediation Practices is listed as the certified community dispute resolution program for Scott, Dakota and Rice counties [2]. Under Rule 114, such programs may place themselves on the roster of Qualified Neutrals if every neutral they use meets the roster requirements [3]. The rule also requires attorneys retained on a civil dispute to tell clients about available ADR processes [3]. The mediators listed here come from the Minnesota Judicial Branch's Rule 114 ADR Neutral Roster as of October 2026 [4].
