Civil lawsuits & business mediators in Greene County, TN
4 civil lawsuits & business mediators listed in Greene County from official Tennessee rosters, each with its official source.
How does mediation work in Greene County?
Federal cases from Greene County are handled at the Greeneville courthouse of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, home of its Northeastern Division [1]. Nine other counties share that division, among them Washington, Sullivan, Hawkins and Hamblen [1]. Most Greene County mediators listed come from the Tennessee AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [2], and one also appears on the Eastern District's Approved Mediators list [3]. To be listed under Rule 31, a mediator must apply to the ADRC, complete approved training, give two character references and promise in writing to follow the rule [4]. Those Rule 31 standards cover only Rule 31 mediations, not private mediation outside the rule [4].

Court-ordered case? Courts may require a mediator from their own approved list for court-ordered cases. Check your court’s rules, or see how mediation works in Tennessee.
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.
