Office of Dispute Resolution

Mediation is available in all 93 counties of Nebraska (see map for Mediation Centers' service region). The Office of Dispute Resolution (ODR) partners with Nebraska's nonprofit mediation centers and the Douglas County District Court Conciliation and Mediation Office to provide mediation and dispute resolution to Nebraska's courts and citizens.
