On Nov 15, 2007, in a per curiam decision, the Florida Supreme Court approved an important change to the qualifications for circuit court mediators. The change eliminates the need to have a law license in order to be certified. The court approved the point system in concept, recognizing that "the general consensus in the alternative dispute resolution community is that possession of academic degrees, including law degrees, do not necessarily predict an individual's ability to be a good mediator." The court also approved amended Rule 10.100, which provides that an applicant must have the required number of points for the type of certification sought (e.g., family mediator or circuit court mediator).

Seven years after alternative dispute resolution gained a foothold in Maryland, the state has decided to formally recognize its impact on the judicial system with an annual observance. Governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. and Court of Appeals Chief Judge Robert M. Bell have declared tomorrow Maryland Conflict Resolution Day. They will join other states and countries organized through the international Association for Conflict Resolution in promoting awareness of alternatives to the courts in resolving disputes.
Growing use of mediation and other alternative means of dispute resolution has led many courts and ADR programs to develop "mediator credentialing" and other approaches that seek to ensure quality mediation. A variety of practical and political difficulties have led these entities to take very diverse, and sometimes debatable, paths to quality assurance (QA). Recently, Maryland's judiciary sponsored a three-year project that led to an innovative QA system for Maryland mediators. The new Maryland Program for Mediator Excellence deemphasizes "pass-fail" barriers, as well as paper-based certification based on legal expertise and other substitute credentials; instead, this system seeks to promote and reward mediators who wish to develop their practice skills. This article offers an overview...
