State and Local Requirements: Continuing Requirements
This page is intended to detail the continuing requirements for neutrals to maintain their registration with the Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution (GCDR) and certifications with local court-annexed ADR programs in North Metro Atlanta. All neutrals working in court-annexed programs must be registered with the GCDR. Though some local court-connected ADR programs adopt GCDR standards, others impose additional requirements so completing GCDR-approved training does not necessarily qualify a neutral to participate in a local court-connected program.
There is no mandatory registration requirement for neutrals who practice dispute resolution in a private setting like The Center for Legal Solutions. Many mediators who practice in a private setting, however, do satisfy state and local requirements for registration / certification and may participate in court-annexed programs in addition to their private practice.
Continuing Requirements: After initial state registration and/or certification with local court-annexed programs, neutrals must continue their training and education to maintain their registration and/or certifications.
