Do I Have to be An Attorney to Become a Mediator

Answer

Many attorneys become mediators. In many states (including Oklahoma), mediators do not need to be an attorney to be listed as a qualified mediator on a state roster of mediators. Even when state requirements require a mediator to be an attorney, the parties can choose whoever they wish to be their mediator regardless of whether they are an attorney.
