Settling a dispute through litigation can be expensive, stressful, and frustrating. Rather than taking a dispute to court, many court cases are eligible for mediation<\/a>. Unlike a court trial or arbitration, no judge or other factfinder can issue a ruling. Instead, a mediator helps the two parties find a mutually agreeable solution.<\/p>\r\n

This article will answer frequently asked questions (FAQ) about mediation as a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The article addresses how mediation works and the reasons for choosing mediation. The article also discusses what types of cases can be mediated.<\/p>\r\n
