Law Careers--Arbitrators/Mediators
Becoming an Arbitrator/Mediator with a Psychology degree

They review evidence, hold hearings to facilitate communication between the two sides, and ultimately render decisions. These hearings are like a court trial, but they are private and less formal. Many Arbitrators/Mediators work for state or local governments or in the legal services industry.
To become an Arbotrator/Mediator, you will typically need to earn a certificate in arbitration/mediation.
