Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

Both types seek to resolve disputes without drawn out and expensive lawsuits.

Mediation:
Where a neutral person, usually a retired Judge, helps the parties try and resolve their dispute. No one decides the outcome for the parties. The parties themselves decide the outcome.

Arbitration:
An informal trial where the parties put on evidence, and a neutral third party, usually a retired Judge, decides the outcome.
