MSC Rule 8.G. provides for a fee to be assessed for superior court mediator certification and renewal of certification. Fees provide for the administration of the certification process and cover the costs of operating the Commission and its office which receive no tax dollars.
Currently, the fee to become a certified superior court mediator is set at $140.00. The fee for initial certification is prorated quarterly for the first year (see Prorated Mediator Certification Fees schedule). Thereafter, a renewal fee is assessed each spring beginning in May. Currently, the renewal fee is also set at $140.00. A dual certification fee of $200.00 is available for mediators interested in becoming certified to serve both the Mediated Settlement Conference and Family Financial Settlement Programs.
Please mail your check for certification fees along with your completed application packet. Your check should be made payable to the "Dispute Resolution Commission" or "DRC".
