How does mediation work in Marion County?
Marion County cases go to the Marion County Circuit Court, whose mediation page covers general civil, custody and parenting time, landlord-tenant, probate and small claims mediation [1]. In custody and parenting time cases, parents watch an orientation video before their first status hearing, the judge decides whether to appoint a mediator, and the first eight hours of the mediator's time are free [2]. Small claims cases are assigned to mediation once a response is filed [1]. Mediators must meet statewide qualification rules and the court's SLR Chapter 12; the mediation coordinator is at 503-373-4467 [3]. Five mediators below are on the court's Custody and Parenting Time list and one on its Civil Mediation Panel [4][5].

Private mediation in Oregon: No state license for private mediators was found in the sources reviewed. Oregon's lawyer rules let a lawyer-mediator draft documents memorializing the mediated agreement, with a recommendation that each party get independent legal advice.
