Vermont Updates

No state requirements for the practice of mediation. Parties may select a mediator of their choice. The Vermont Court Administrator keeps a list of mediators, most of whom have gone through a training program to practice in the federal courts in Vermont, for the information of judges making court referrals on major civil cases. The Vermont Family Court Mediation Program has defined criteria for their list of contracted mediators:
  1. 100 hours of training including 28 basic, 72 in divorce mediation with specified components
  2. 40 hours mediation experience, with 30 hours as an intern divorce mediator, 5 hours of supervisions between the intern mediator and supervising mediator
  3. 20 hours of continuing education every 2 years. Source: Lee Suskin, Court Administrator, Supreme Court Office of the Court Administrator; http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/
