The organizations behind good mediation
The professional organizations I belong to and rely on for training, ethics standards, and research on mediation and family dispute resolution. Their public pages are also a good place to learn how mediation works and what to expect from a qualified mediator.
The New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators: accreditation standards, plain-language information about how mediation works, and a statewide mediator directory.
The American Bar Association's home for mediation and other alternatives to litigation, including the Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators and ongoing research and articles on dispute resolution.
The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts brings together judges, lawyers, mediators, and mental health professionals who work with separating families, and publishes practical guides for parents and children.
