Biographical Notes:
Marietta Shipley retired in September 2006 as judge of the Second Circuit Court in Nashville presiding over civil jury and non-jury trials for the past 16 years. During that time she was a pioneer in the field of alternative dispute resolution for the courts. She was on the Tennessee Bar Association ADR Committee and then a charter member of the Supreme Court ADR Commission., which developed Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31approved by the Supreme Court in 1996. She is presently a Rule 31 listed Civil/Family Mediator and is a member of the Panel of Mediators serving the Middle District and Eastern District of the Federal Court.
While she was judge she mediated numerous civil matters in settlement conferences, from personal injury cases to malpractice cases. She also provided case management conferences for family cases, which often led to settlement. She was Chair of the Judicial ADR Committee, which primarily brought education to the judges statewide so they were ready to respond to this helpful tool in resolving disputes. Many of the jurisdictions now either exchange cases for settlement or routinely send them out for mediation, resulting in cases moving forward more quickly.
Presently she is the President of The Mediation Group of Tennessee, LLC, where she has a Group of mediators and arbitrators, for whom she arranges mediations and arbitrations, as well as providing mediation and arbitration services herself.
Education:
Marietta received her JD in 1976 from the Nashville School of Law ; her MAT in 1969 and BA in 1967 from the University of Kansas; She has served as a faculty member at Lipscomb University Institute for Conflict Resolution 2009 for a 40 hour course.
