Mediator Applicant Qualifications

PREAMBLE
We care about the quality of services provided in the District Court, and developed qualifications we believe
help increase the competence of the practitioners we are welcoming into our Day of Trial ADR Program.
We believe that mediation, like other learned skills, atrophies over time without constant practice and exercise
of those skills. We believe that the more time that passes without practicing mediation or learning about
mediation, the more difficult it becomes to run a high-quality process.
It is our expectation that mediator applicants, even those who have not yet had an opportunity to practice their
skills, are staying connected to Maryland’s mediation network and the plethora of resources available through
various programs and membership organizations.
One finding of the “Effectiveness” study from the Statewide ADR Research in District Court was that cases
were less likely to return to court if the ADR Practitioner had more ADR experience in the previous 12 months.
This supports the idea that frequency and recentness of experience
