3 mediators list Wabasha County as their home county on official Minnesota rosters.
Wabasha County belongs to Minnesota's Third Judicial District, an 11-county district with permanent chambers in Faribault, Albert Lea, Austin, Rochester and Winona [1]. Its district court handles ADR under Rule 114, which defines Early Neutral Evaluation as a process in which experienced neutrals assess a case after filing but before formal discovery [2]. In family matters, a Moderated Settlement Conference lets an experienced neutral offer evaluative impressions in the later stages of a case [3]. Mediators below come from the Minnesota Judicial Branch's Rule 114 ADR Neutral Roster as of October 2026 [4].
