NJSBA Family Law Section

Hello Family Law Section members,

Beginning Monday, Sept. 24, NJICLE, the Justice Garibaldi ADR Inn of Court and the NJSBA Family Law Section will present Mediation Training - Family Law Cases. This is a 5-Day (40 Hour) Mediation Training Course that will run on Mondays, Sept. 24 to Oct. 29, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the New Jersey Law Center.

Become a Court-Approved Mediator in Just 5 Days
The Supreme Court has amended Rule 1:40-5(3)(b) to expand the economic mediation program statewide. Each vicinage must have in place a post-Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel program for mediation of the economic aspects of divorce.

Those who have been trained in mediation skills and who meet other requirements set forth in the New Jersey Court Rules (Appendix 19), and are approved by the Joint Credentialing Committee of the Supreme Court CDR Committee and the Supreme Court Family Practice Committee, will be placed on a court-approved roster. After the first two pro bono hours on each case, court-approved mediators will be able to set market-rate fees for their services.
