How does mediation work in Anderson County?
In Anderson County, the Circuit Court Clerk's office in Clinton keeps the files for both the civil and the criminal side of the Circuit Court, which has general jurisdiction [1]. A separate Clerk & Master acts as record keeper for three courts, Chancery, Probate and Child Support, where filings range from divorces and adoptions to workers' compensation and debt cases [2]. When a judge here refers a civil case to Rule 31 mediation and the parties have not agreed on a mediator within 15 days, the court proposes three names from the state list and each side crosses one off [3]. Mediators shown on this page are drawn from the Tennessee AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [4].

Court-connected mediation in Tennessee: When a Tennessee court orders Rule 31 mediation and the parties don't pick a listed Rule 31 mediator together, the judge names three from the AOC's statewide list and each side strikes one name.
Private mediation in Tennessee: Rule 31 says its standards cover only mediations and mediators under that rule, not private mediation outside it. The ADR Commission may waive training for a mediator approved and in good standing in another state.
