GEMME ESPAÑA

What GEMME ESPAÑA does

GEMME España (Grupo Europeo de la Magistratura por la Mediación de España) is a Spanish non-profit association, registered under Ley Orgánica 1/2002, that promotes mediation and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods from within the judicial system. It is the Spanish section of the European Group of Judges for Mediation, founded in Paris in 2004, and its membership is composed of active judges, magistrates, and other legal and mediation professionals. The organization does not develop commercial technology products; instead it produces publications, educational events, and policy advocacy, including the biennial Simposio 'Mediación es Justicia' (next edition: July 2026, Madrid), the itinerant Cinefórum de Justicia Restaurativa, and reference works such as 'Mediación con las Administraciones Públicas' (Premio ADR Justicia 2024). Its primary counterparties are the Ministry of Justice, the CGPJ, regional ombudsmen, professional colleges, and local administrations, with whom it collaborates on implementing the mandatory mediation framework under L.O. 1/2025.

The association is governed by a member-elected Board of Directors and led since July 2026 by President Rosalía Fernández Alaya, succeeding Carme Guil. Headquarters are located at Calle Zurbarán 8, 2º piso, Madrid, with a reported headcount of 5 employees. Funding is implied to come from membership dues and event-related contributions; no revenue is publicly disclosed. In May 2024, GEMME España amended its statutes to admit institutional members, broadening its base beyond individual legal professionals. Its current strategic focus is positioning itself as the coordinating body for the proposed State Observatory of Mediation and MASC, an initiative it is championing at the Ministry of Justice's Foro para la Mediación.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR): United States-based professional association advancing conflict resolution and mediation practice, training, and policy. Comparable as a multi-stakeholder ADR membership organization, but operating at much larger scale and in a different judicial culture.
• Centre de Médiation du Barreau de Paris: Mediation center run by the Paris Bar that trains and certifies mediators and promotes ADR within the legal profession. Comparable to GEMME España as a professional-body ADR promotion organization, but operated from the bar-association angle rather than from the judicial angle.
• Centro ADR Italia / ADR Center: Commercial Italian ADR provider operating one of Europe's largest mediation case-management infrastructures. Comparable to GEMME España's mission of scaling mediation, but as a private-sector service provider rather than a judicial-membership association.

Emerging players

• International Mediation Institute (IMI): Independent international body setting standards and certifying mediators worldwide. Comparable as an ADR-promotion institution, but operating globally through mediator certification rather than a national judicial-association membership model.

Regional players

• Centre de Mediació del ICAB (Il·lustre Col·legi de l'Advocacia de Barcelona): The mediation center of ICAB, a long-standing collaborating partner of GEMME España in joint events such as European Mediation Day. A bar-association-led counterpart focused on mediation training and ADR services within Catalonia.
• Servicio de Mediación de la Policía Municipal (various Spanish municipalities): Municipal police mediation services — including Alcobendas SeMAC and Móstoles — that GEMME España actively collaborates with on training and events. Comparable as public-sector mediation delivery organizations embedded in local government.

Direct peers

• Corte Española de Mediación y Arbitraje (CEMA): Spanish alternative-dispute-resolution institution that conducts mediation and arbitration proceedings in Spain. Overlaps with GEMME España on the promotion of ADR in Spain, but operates commercially as an ADR service provider rather than as a judge-led advocacy association.
• GEMME Italia: The Italian section of the European GEMME network of judges for mediation. Most directly comparable peer in terms of mission, structure, and audience (judges pushing mediation from within courts) in another Southern-European jurisdiction.
• European Forum for Restorative Justice: Active partner of GEMME España for joint proposals to the Spanish Ministry of Justice on restorative-justice services. Operates as a continent-wide peer association with overlapping mission on ADR/restorative-justice policy advocacy.
• GEMME France: The French section of the European Group of Judges for Mediation (GEMME), the original founding chapter of the network to which GEMME España belongs. Operates as a parallel association of judges and magistrates promoting mediation within the French court system.
