If the parties choose court sponsored mediation, the parties may request that a district or magistrate judge serve as mediator, or may select the mediator from the court's panel of mediators. In making a selection from the court's panel, the parties may consider the mediator's background and experience, areas of legal concentration, and fee. A complete list of court approved mediators is available on the court's website. If mediation is court ordered, the mediator is selected by the court. Parties who do not wish to use a member of the court's mediation panel may agree to select a mediator from a private ADR firm or any other source that is mutually agreeable to the parties.
