AUGUSTA — The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division is recruiting new volunteer Consumer Complaint Mediators for its fall class. Training will begin on Monday, Sept. 27. Volunteers will mediate consumer complaints over the phone or by mail, in the Attorney General’s Augusta office.

The Attorney General’s Office trains its mediators in consumer law and mediation techniques. Mediators are asked to volunteer approximately six hours a week on a schedule convenient to them. During the past year the Consumer Mediation Service recovered more than $580,000 for Maine consumers.
