Maryland Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office

The Maryland Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office (MACRO) is a state program that promotes the use of mediation and conflict resolution to resolve disputes in a constructive way. Its goal is to provide individuals and organizations with tools and resources to help them settle their differences outside of the courtroom. MACRO supports various mediation programs, offers training for mediators, and develops initiatives that encourage collaborative problem-solving. By using mediation, parties can reach mutually agreeable solutions, which can save time, reduce costs, and improve relationships compared to traditional litigation.
