Ind. ADR Rule 2.4
Selection of Mediators
Effective March 1, 1997
Upon an order referring a case to mediation, the parties may within seven (7) days in a
domestic relations case or within fifteen (15) days in a civil case: (1) choose a mediator from
the Commission's registry, or (2) agree upon a non-registered mediator, who must be
approved by the trial court and who serves with leave of court. In the event a mediator is not
selected by agreement, the court will designate three (3) registered mediators from the Commission's registry who are willing to mediate within the Court's district as set out in Admin. R.
3 (A). Alternately, each side shall strike the name of one mediator. The side initiating the law-
suit will strike first. The mediator remaining after the striking process will be deemed the
selected mediator.
A person selected to serve as a mediator under this rule may choose not to serve for any
reason. At any time, a party may request the court to replace the mediator for good cause
shown. In the event a mediator chooses not to serve or the court decides to replace a mediator, the selection process will be repeated.
