How does mediation work in Lincoln County?
Lincoln County's Chancery Court belongs to the 17th Judicial District, a four-county district that also covers Bedford, Marshall and Moore [1]. Locally, the Clerk & Master keeps the Chancery and Probate records, and its civil caseload includes divorces, adoptions, debts and contracts, estates and real estate disputes [2]. The Circuit Court Clerk handles the General Sessions and Juvenile courts as well [2]. A Rule 31 mediation can begin because the parties consent or because a judge enters an Order of Reference; when the parties agree to mediate without such an order, they choose the mediator themselves [3]. Mediators on this page are taken from the AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [4].

Mediators who work online with Tennessee clients
These mediators say they work with Tennessee clients online. They are on other states’ official rosters (shown on each listing), not Tennessee’s. Where they serve is their own statement. Sorted: placements first (paid ones are labeled), then most complete profile.
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.
