RID Interpreter Registry Search Tool
This directory, provided by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc., includes many interpreters who provide Video Remote Interpreting (VRI).
Attorney Directory
The American Bar Association has a list of attorney directories for each state. An attorney is not required for mediation, as parties are free to make every decision in mediation of their own free will. But, if one or both parties wish to hire or receive advice from an attorney, they may find one with this directory. Please keep in mind that if you are assigned to a mediator who is an active attorney, this does not mean you can receive legal advice from that mediator. An attorney cannot hold dual roles in mediation. Having said that, a mediator can share with clients what is standard, can carry out the necessary paperwork, do the state child support and alimony/maintenance calculations, and alert clients when something may not be standard or acceptable/enforceable by a court.
