How does mediation work in Marion County?

Marion County's courthouse in Jasper is where its Circuit Court Clerk and Clerk & Master are based, and the county has its own General Sessions judge and Juvenile Court judge [1][2]. Once a Tennessee court refers a civil case to mediation, the parties get 15 days to report the Rule 31 mediator they picked; if they cannot agree, the judge offers three names from the state list and each side strikes one [3]. Most mediators below come from the Administrative Office of the Courts' Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [4]. Some also appear on the Eastern District of Tennessee's approved mediators list [5] or the Middle District's ADR panel [6].

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.
