How does mediation work in Smith County?

One Chancellor serves Tennessee's 15th Judicial District, which joins Smith County with Jackson, Macon, Trousdale and Wilson [1]. Short motions from the whole district are heard in Lebanon, and the Chancellor sits in Smith County for trials three times a year, in February, June and October [1]. The Clerk and Master's office in Carthage keeps Chancery and Probate Court records; Chancery cases include divorces, adoptions, workers' compensation and land disputes [1]. The county's General Sessions Court can decide civil claims up to $25,000 and doubles as its Juvenile Court [2]. Rule 31 standards reach only Rule 31 mediations, not private mediation generally [3]. Listed mediators come from the AOC 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.
