Arbitration is a method of
legal dispute resolution involving the use of an
arbitrator to hear the points of an issue from both
parties and determine a binding decision. The
arbitrator is a neutral party similar to a judge who
is trained and experienced in resolving disputes of
a specific type.
Arbitration is normally used when
an agreement has previously been entered into by the
parties involved to accept binding arbitration in
the event of a dispute. Arbitration may also
be used in labor disputes relating to grievances and
collective bargaining agreement disagreements.
Arbitration can save both parties much of the
expense of trial litigation, move faster than a
congested court docket and allow the arbitrator much
flexibility in resolving the issues.
Mediation provides a method
where two parties can enlist the services of an
impartial mediator to help them reach an amicable
agreement on a matter. The mediator is usually
a professional in the field concerning the subject
matter and offers both parties an impartially
researched opinion and advice concerning their
common interest and the structure and content of the
agreement.
Mediation is commonly used in
disputes between countries, states, corporations or
other entities where strict application of legal
precedent is lacking or not applicable. This
can include issues concerning commerce, borders,
treaties and war. Mediation is also useful in
domestic matters such as marriage agreements or
prenuptial agreements.
