Any person who wishes to serve as a registered mediator pursuant to these rules must register with the Indiana Supreme Court Commission for Continuing Legal Education (hereinafter "Commission") on forms supplied by the Commission. The registrants must meet qualifications as required in counties or court districts (as set out in Ind. Administrative Rule 3(A) ) in which they desire to mediate and identify the types of litigation which they desire to mediate. All professional licenses must be disclosed and identified in the form which the Commission requires.
The registration form shall be accompanied by a fee of $50.00 for each registered area (Civil or Domestic). An annual fee of $50.00 shall be due the second December 31st following initial registration. Registered mediators will be billed at the time their annual statements are sent. No fee shall be required of a full-time, sitting judge.
The Commission shall maintain a list of registered mediators including the following information:
The Commission may remove a registered mediator from its registry for failure to meet or to maintain the requirements of A.D.R. Rule 2.5 for non-payment of fees. A registered mediator must maintain a current business and residential address and telephone number with the Commission. Failure to maintain current information required by these rules may result in removal from the registry.
For the billing of calendar year 2011, when this Rule becomes effective, registered mediators must pay the $50.00 annual fee and a one-time fee of $25.00 for the time period July 1, 2011-December 31, 2011, for a total of $75.00 per registration area. The annual fee shall be $50.00 per calendar year per registration area thereafter.
On or before October 31 of each year, each registered mediator will be sent an annual statement showing the mediator's educational activities that have been approved for mediator credit by the Commission.
