Private & Court-Referred Mediation

Understanding the distinct framework, intake requirements, and fee structures for direct private engagements versus court-connected ADR program referrals.

• Mediation Service Pathways

Two Distinct Entry Paths

Grace by BBT™ serves clients through two separate operational tracks. Select the pathway matching how your matter enters mediation.

Pathway One
Pathway Two

Private Mediation — “I am contacting Grace directly.”

Court-Referred Mediation — “A court or ADR program referred my matter.”

Designed for individuals, families, co-parents, attorneys, employers, and organizations who choose Grace directly. Occurs before litigation, during an active case, or without any court involvement.

Governed by specific court orders or court-connected ADR program rules. Mandated procedures, reporting guidelines, and fee schedules differ significantly from private services.

Important Notice

Court-Referred Fee & Policy Notice

Court-referred mediation does not automatically use Grace by BBT™ private pricing. Fees, payment responsibilities, scheduling requirements, confidentiality rules, attorney participation, and reporting requirements may be determined by the referring court or ADR program.
