Mediation Training
 Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 31 requires training for both General
Civil and Family court ordered mediation for attorneys
and non-attorneys. The approved courses offered by Jean
Munroe provide mediation trainees with the training
requirements to be approved by the Tennessee Supreme
Court for court ordered mediation under Rule 31.
Currently, we offer
two types of approved mediation training:
Family Mediation
