The Supreme Court, acting September 12 on the recommendations of its Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules & Policy, has approved a series of revisions to rules that govern court-appointed and certified mediators.

“Having considered the Committee’s petition, the comments received, and the Committee’s response, we hereby amend the Florida Rules for Certified and Court-Appointed Mediators as proposed by the Committee in light of its revised proposal,” the ruling states.

The proposed amendments were publicly noticed in the Bar News, and two comments were received, the ruling notes. They take effect January 1, 2025.
