When an ADR process is chosen, the parties select an independent third party, called a neutral, from the ADR Neutrals Roster [link:  http://adr.courts.state.mn.us/adr/Adr_query.asp]. The Education & Organization Development Division maintains two ADR Neutrals Rosters, civil (non-family) and family. The neutrals on these rosters are professionals with a wide variety of backgrounds. To be qualified under Minnesota Rule 114, neutrals are required to complete training that is certified by the Supreme Court prior to serving in civil or family law matters. All neutrals on the family law roster have had six additional hours of training on domestic abuse issues. Angela is a Minnesota Rule 114 Qualified Neutral in the areas of mediation, parenting time expediting, social early neutral evaluation and financial early evaluation.
