How does mediation work in New Hanover County?

The sheriff's Judicial Services Division, which includes a court bailiff section, works mainly out of the New Hanover County Judicial Building in downtown Wilmington [1]. The county is split into superior court districts 6A, 6B and 6C in the Second Division, and district 6A also covers Pender County [2]. New Hanover and Pender together form District Court District 6, which has nine judges [3]. Its chief district court judge may order mediated settlement conferences in equitable distribution, alimony and support cases [4]. The federal Eastern District holds court in Wilmington [5]. Most mediators listed below appear on the Eastern District's list [6], and a few on the Middle District's [7].
