The Clinic has three mandatory training sessions that are typically scheduled prior to the start of semester, in addition to required class meetings. Interested students must submit a one-page statement of intent and attend an information session about the Mediation Clinic prior to enrollment. Admitted students must pass a background check before mediating in the Justice Court Mediation Program.

The Clinic is a graded, 5-credit hour course. Students are expected to spend approximately 200 hours working on clinic matters (mediations, mediation prep, class prep, reflection papers, etc.) during the semester and submit two drafts of a 25-page paper. The Clinic may satisfy either the graduation writing requirement or the Professional Skills requirement, but not both.
