The Mediation Center
Programs
Description
The parties to family law cases can benefit by using mediation to resolve some or all issues in dispute. Family mediation is private, confidential, quick and inexpensive. When an agreement is reached, it can be made part of the court order in the case. Cases can be referred by judges, by attorneys for the parties, or by the parties themselves. The Mediation Center accepts referrals to help couples reach agreement on issues of parenting, division of property and other matters arising out of divorce or separation, including the need of previously divorced or never married parents to develop a Parenting Plan. Family mediation is conducted by Rule 31 Listed Mediators, along with an assistant or co-mediator. For low-income families the Center offers a sliding-scale fee for this service.

Description
This specialized form of mediation provides a face-to-face meeting among persons on all sides of a crime or juvenile conflict. Trained volunteer mediators assist the discussion toward acknowledgement, atonement, restitution and resolution. Referrals come from the courts and the community. This kind of mediation offers victims a real voice in the criminal justice system, an opportunity to express feelings of frustration and anger, and a change to reduce fears and get questions answered. The offender acknowledges his or her personal accountability and makes amends to the victim and the community.
