How does mediation work in Wake County?

In Raleigh, the Wake County Justice Center holds the courts alongside county offices such as the Register of Deeds, and court visitors use their own entrance and pass a security checkpoint.[3] By statute the county is split into six superior court districts, 10A to 10F, in the Third Division,[4] with matching district court districts and extra district court seats in Apex, Fuquay-Varina, Wake Forest and Wendell.[5] A senior resident superior court judge can refer civil actions to a mediated settlement conference.[6] Federal matters belong to the Eastern District, which sits in Raleigh.[7] Most mediators below are drawn from the Eastern,[8] Middle[9] or Western[10] District federal lists.

Fact-checked Oct 7, 2026 against the official sources numbered above (listed under Sources). Court programs change; confirm with the clerk.
