How does mediation work in Cape Girardeau County?
Cape Girardeau County's circuit court can sit in two courthouses, one in Jackson and one in the city of Cape Girardeau, and any matter handled by its circuit or associate circuit judges may be heard at either location [1]. Its probate division may also keep an office in each of those courthouses [1]. The county is part of the 32nd Judicial Circuit with Bollinger and Perry counties, which state law assigns three circuit judges in divisions one through three [2][3]. The mediators shown are on the Eastern District of Missouri federal court's list of neutrals, a roster giving each neutral's name and specialties [4].
