In New York State, for a person to practice law (lawyers or attorneys), one must have completed a predetermined amount of formal law school education, pass the bar exam, and then apply for admission to the state court’s bar.
Contrary to the process for a practicing attorney, mediators are certified to serve a CDRC in coordinated mediations only and without licensing. Practitioners, however, are moving to recognize mediation as a true profession. With that comes the issue of controlling the field, as credentialing ultimately brings with it another set of standardized values, such as education and experience.
Compared to the real estate industry, the licensure of a mediator may follow a similar process one day. One may acquire a real estate license by taking a course, followed by an exam, obtain the minimum required education, and pay the appropriate fees to acquire a real estate license. This still does not allow the individual the authority to act as a selling or listing agent. They must work under a licensed real estate brokerage firm. Mediator certification may benefit from recognizing the regulations for real estate licensing and adapting CDRC system requirements to that of a licensed real estate brokerage firm.
A CDRC is recognized by and receives financial support from the Office of Court Administration (OCA). The CDRC abides by the regulations set forth by the Court Administration and is overseen by the Community Dispute Resolution Office of OCA (the keeper of the Standards that have been applied throughout this course). The CDRCs train volunteer mediators and staff with a 30-hour basic mediation course. Dependent upon special mediation matters, additional training may be required for mediators. After receiving basic training, mediators are subject to an apprentice period. Upon successfully completing the probationary period, they are technically eligible to begin mediating on behalf of the CDRC.
The CDRC staff is responsible for the coordination of a mediation, arranging the intake of parties and assigning a mediator to facilitate the process. In the event a mediator wishes to practice outside of the CDRC, the CDRC does not protect that individual from any malpractice or possible liability concerns. The CDRCs are essentially adhering to the Standards on an honor system and the MEAC Opinions studied thus far are advisory in nature. If, over time, a CDRC has a poor record of accomplishment with educating mediators about the Standards and the importance of the quality of process, they may lose their funding from the OCA. This dynamic is dependent upon mediators working appropriately and responsibly under the supervision and control of a CDRC.
