Nancy Black Norelli brings her experience as a District Court Judge in Mecklenburg County to her role as a mediator. Nancy served as a judge for eight years where she presided over 60 civil jury trials and 1,000 Family Court matters as well as more than 7,000 other cases. She also spent a year handling cases across North Carolina as an Emergency Judge.

The Superior Court has certified Nancy as a mediator since 1997. She is also certified as a Federal Mediator, Family Financial Mediator and Estates and Guardianship Mediator. Nancy recently transferred her law practice to Judy Linville and her team at  Linville Law and will continue her career as a mediator, arbitrator and referee with Miles Mediation & Arbitration.

With her extensive courtroom experience, Nancy knows how the litigation process works — and how jurors reach verdicts. Her insight into the risks of going to trial helps her move parties toward a settlement through mediation. She has experienced mediation herself. That first-hand experience helps her to understand what the parties in a mediation go through as they strive to resolve a legal issue.
