Survey of Indiana Mediators

There is a growing profession of dispute resolution providers, including mediators, arbitrators, facilitators, and other individuals with expertise as neutrals within in Indiana. These people may work in community dispute resolution centers, court mediation programs, labor disputes and numerous other areas of ADR expertise.  However, little is known about many of them--their educational backgrounds, professions, and experience.  To compile this information, the Indiana Conflict Resolution Institute (ICRI) conducted a survey of these providers.

ICRI mailed surveys to 676 ADR providers in the state of Indiana.  The Institute compiled the list of the 676 Providers from the Indiana Registry of Civil and Domestic Mediators, the membership lists of the Indiana chapter of the Society of Professionals in Dispute Resolution, and the Indiana State Bar Association Section on Dispute Resolution.  The survey asks questions about the provider’s education background, services provided, experience, training, and particular areas of expertise (e.g. labor, environmental, employment).

We received 215 completed surveys from ADR Providers.  This information has enabled us to obtain a picture of providers, their areas of expertise, and their practices. In addition, we have created a web-searchable database of Indiana providers for the ICRI website so that the public may more easily find Indiana ADR providers with particular expertise or in a particular geographic location.  The website also allows Indiana ADR providers to submit surveys to ICRI and have their information added to the searchable database.
