About Mediation What is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary, informal and confidential process in which a neutral “mediator” assists the disputing parties in identifying and discussing issues of concern, exploring various solutions and developing a settlement that is mutually acceptable to them.
Why Mediate?
There are a number of reasons why mediation is better than trying a case before a judge or a jury. These include time, cost, control and options.
Steps to Mediation (pdf) About Arbitration What is Arbitration?
Arbitration offers the flexibility, confidentiality, informality, and cost effectiveness of mediation. Unlike the mediator, the arbitrator is a neutral who considers the legal arguments and evidence presented by the disputants and renders a decision.
Once a decision has been rendered, that decision may become binding if both parties agree. About Case Evaluations
Confidential Case Evaluation permits a party and/or their lawyers to present a summary of their case for neutral review by an experienced lawyer or former judge. The evaluation includes an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of issues and a non-binding opinion of the likely outcome, if adjudicated. Settlement often occurs after case evaluation, with significant savings in legal costs to both parties.
