How does mediation work in Rutherford County?
Rutherford County mediators on this page are drawn mainly from the Tennessee AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [1], and two are also members of the Middle District of Tennessee federal court's ADR panel [2]. A Tennessee judge can refer an eligible civil case to Rule 31 mediation by an Order of Reference, on motion or on the court's own initiative, and parties may also opt in by agreement [3]. After a referral, the parties get 15 days to report the mediator they chose; failing agreement, the court proposes three listed names and each side strikes one [3]. A signed written mediated agreement can be admitted in court to enforce it [3].

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.
