Volunteer Mediators Needed for Court System
Tulsa Municipal Court’s Early Settlement Mediation is recruiting individuals from the community who would like to serve the court system as volunteers to mediate disputes and lawsuits. Also sponsored by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma, this service helps with mediation cases including consumer/merchant, landlord/tenant, real estate, IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), neighborhood, family and divorce, and adult guardianship.
If you’re interested in becoming a mediator, you may call (918) 596-7746 to receive an application by mail, or pick one up in person at Early Settlement, 911 Civic Center, Suite 100-L in the Police Courts Building. Completed applications must be received no later than February 18, 2009, and should be addressed to the Mediator Selection Committee.
Training is free for candidates who are selected to become mediators and who make a commitment to volunteer. The 2009 training will be held March 4, 5, and 6; participants must attend all three days of the training.
