Mediation Clinic

The Mediation Clinic provides law students with opportunities to “learn by serving” as mediators in actual disputes. Students enrolled in the Mediation Clinic receive intensive training in mediation techniques, and then mediate cases in Knox County General Sessions Court and other venues. The Mediation Clinic satisfies the training requirements to become a Rule 31 certified mediator in Tennessee. Students work under the supervision of Becky Jacobs as well as experienced mediators from the Community Mediation Center and private practice.
