Why Become a Mediator? Mediation is a career that is not affected by a downturn in the economy—it is recession proof in a forever-growing industry. Litigation continues to grow by leaps and bounds and there will always be lawsuits. One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to be an attorney to be a mediator. This is simply not true! There are no educational requirements other than the certification training we provide, so mediation may be performed by: Real Estate Agents, Teachers, CPAs, Lawyers, Paralegals, Attorneys, Supervised Visitation Monitors, Family Counselors, Social workers, Retired Law Enforcement and Therapists.

During a typical session, the mediator talks to the parties individually and together. They listen to what each party has to say. This gives the parties more control over the decision-making process, leading to greater satisfaction. The meeting is less formal and takes considerably less time than traditional litigation.
