The Kinnard Mediation Center (formerly known as the Circuit Mediation Office)
conducts mediation of civil appeals under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure
33 and Eleventh Circuit Rule 33-1. The Court's mediation process provides
confidential, risk-free opportunities for parties to resolve their
dispute with the help of a neutral third-party. Each year hundreds
of appeals are resolved through the mediation program.
The circuit mediators of the Kinnard Mediation Center are full-time
employees of the Eleventh Circuit and have extensive trial and
appellate experience as well as significant training and experience
in mediation. The circuit mediators are located in Atlanta,
Tampa, and Miami.
Appeals that have been selected for mediation by the Kinnard
Mediation Center may be mediated by a private mediator
employed by the parties at their expense. The private
mediator shall conduct the mediation under the procedures
set forth by the Center, and the assigned circuit mediator
will provide assistance as specified in those procedures.
