Thank you for your interest in joining the Association of Attorney-Mediators. You must have completed a Basic Mediation Course preapproved by AAM.
Please see the Preapproved Mediation Training list. Preapproved Trainings.pdf If your Basic Mediation Training is not listed, you may request that your Basic Mediation Training be reviewed by the Training Committee by submitting the course syllabus, outline and faculty information to AAM by email to aam@attorney-mediators.org or by fax to 972-669-8180.
Three satisfactory references on the provided Confidential Reference Questionnaire form are required for consideration of membership. New Applicant Reference Questionnaire.pdf (Send to 3 colleagues)
Annual membership dues are $225.00, for the calendar year term. After July 1, the dues for new members are prorated to one-half the annual amount, being $112.50. The prorated amount covers membership dues for the remainder of the existing calendar year. All memberships renew on January 1 of each year.
If you wish to join a local chapter in your area, please see the Chapters tab for contact information. You must be a member at the national level before you are able to join at the local chapter level.
AAM members are provided a group mediation/arbitration liability policy, which is included in the annual dues payment. Insurance coverage information is provided to members upon approval of the application and is available on the Members-Only section of the website. (Insurance coverage is NOT provided to Two Year Associate Members until they attain the Five Year Associate Membership level.)
Returning members, from previous years, should complete the application below (without the reference questionnaires, as these have been previously provided). This will ensure we have the most up to date information about you in the Mediator Directory.
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact us at aam@attorney-mediators.org or at 1-800-280-1368. We look forward to adding you as a member.
Your membership is not approved and activated until you receive notification from the AAM National Office that all requirements have been met for membership.
