A mediator is any individual or agency who mediates a case pursuant to an order of
the Court. This includes a court employee, an independent contractor, or a

(2)
Any action under the jurisdiction of the Court may be referred to mediation by
agreement of the parties, upon a party’s motion or upon the Court’s own motion.
(3)
The Court incorporates by reference the Uniform Mediation Act, R.C. 2710.01 et
seq., and any other pertinent rules and statutes.
(B)
Procedures

The Court shall refer cases to mediation by the Notice of Scheduled Mediation set
forth in Appendix G to the Local Rules, which will identify the mediator, the
parties, and their counsel, and provide their contact information.
(2)
The Court shall utilize procedures that will do all of the following:
(a) Ensure that parties are allowed to participate in mediation and, if the parties
wish, that their counsel and other persons whom they designate are allowed to
accompany them and participate in mediation.
(b) Screen for domestic violence both before and during mediation.
(c) Encourage appropriate referrals to legal counsel and other support services for
all parties, including victims and suspected victims of domestic violence.
(d) Prohibit the use of mediation:
(i) As an alternative to the prosecution or adjudication of domestic violence;
(ii) In determining whether to grant, modify or terminate a protection order;
(iii) In determining the terms and conditions of a protection order; and
(iv) In determining the penalty for violation of a protection order.
(3)
Mediation sessions may be held until all issues are resolved in a manner that is
