The Community Mediation Center (CMC) is a non-profit organization in Knoxville, Tennessee that provides mediation services to people so they can resolve and manage their conflicts amicably, inexpensively and rapidly.
CMC grew out of a collaboration between UTK college of Law Mediation Clinic, the UTK Conflict Resolution Program, Knoxville Bar Association, and Legal Aid of East Tennessee, all of whom helped begin mediation programs in Knox County in the years before CMC was incorporated.
The Center provides volunteer court mediation services for the Knox County General Sessions and Juvenile Courts and a program to mediate divorces primarily for participants of low or modest means. They also accept referrals from individuals, schools, law enforcement, social service agencies, hospitals, small businesses, neighborhood organizations, nonprofit agencies and organizations.
Currently, CMC has over 50 active volunteer mediators from all walks of life: stay-at-home moms and dads, retired university professors, school counselors and teachers, attorneys and law students, social workers, therapists, nurses, middle and high school students, to name just a few.
