About Kia
Kia Scott trained for practice at two law schools and returned to study conflict after earning her first degree. She completed her J.D. at Jones School of Law in 2013. Three years later she added an LL.M. in Dispute Resolution from the same school and a Family Mediation Certificate from Pepperdine University School of Law in 2016. Those credentials frame much of her professional work.
Early in her career she moved into areas that draw on negotiation and settlement skills. Her advanced study in dispute resolution was paired with practical mediation training at Pepperdine. Those choices suggest a professional interest in resolving conflicts outside the courtroom as well as managing cases through the court system when necessary.
Scott is admitted to practice in Alabama. She has maintained professional memberships and participated in continuing education tied to mediation and dispute resolution practices. Public records show a steady progression from law school to postgraduate specialization, rather than a single narrow practice path.
Her work centers on dispute resolution and family mediation. She brings the LL.M. course work into real-world cases, translating theory into mediation sessions and negotiated settlements. This background supports clients who prefer alternatives to lengthy litigation, and it equips her to guide parties through complex settlement talks.
Scott practices from K Scott Law, LLC. The firm functions as her principal office and the base for her mediation practice. In that setting she conducts intake interviews, mediations and settlement conferences. She handles the administrative and procedural aspects of case management while directing dispute resolution processes that seek practical outcomes for clients.
Colleagues describe her approach as methodical and attentive to process, emphasizing preparation and clear communication in mediation settings. Her Pepperdine certificate complements the LL.M. coursework by providing specific mediation techniques and experiential learning that she uses in client sessions. Her education choices indicate a deliberate move toward alternative dispute resolution as a professional emphasis rather than an academic sideline.
She continues to accept matters in Alabama and to work with clients who are pursuing mediation or negotiated settlements. Her current practice centers on dispute resolution and family mediation.
