FAMILY COURT MEDIATION

Mediation can be either voluntary or court-ordered, and the duration of a family mediation will depend on several factors, including the number and complexity of the custody issues and the parties’ willingness to reach an agreement.

APPELLATE COURT MEDIATION

Many question the practicality and usefulness of appellate mediation as an alternative dispute resolution tool. Presumably, in any given case on appeal, settlement negotiations proved unsuccessful before trial, and one party

has already received a favorable ruling in the case. However, the appellate mediation process can save the parties and courts considerable time and resources. Although it may appear futile to mediate a case when a clear winner and loser have already been declared, it is important to note that a party’s victory may be short lived so long as a case remains pending on appeal.

ARBITRATION

Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution process in which the parties to a legal dispute present to an independent adjudicator to resolve the issues involved in the dispute.

ARBITRATION

The primary distinction between mediation and arbitration is that, instead of helping the parties reach a compromise, an arbitrator renders a determination of liability, damages, and any other issues involved in a particular matter. Arbitration can either be binding, in which case the arbitrator's decision is final, or non-binding, in which case the parties do not have to accept the decision.

PRE-SUIT MEDIATION

Attempting to resolve a conflict by agreeing to voluntary participation in mediation before anyone has filed a legal action can sometimes be the most cost-effective method of resolving a conflict.

PRE-SUIT MEDIATION

Pre-suit mediation can be used to resolve all sorts of conflicts, including civil lawsuits, small claims matters, and family law matters, including divorce and the establishment of parenting plans.
