Dispute Resolution Clinic

As lawyers, we always want to beat the other person's brains out. But loath as we are to admit it, there are times when litigation is not the best way to resolve a dispute. This page provides an overview of dispute resolution alternatives. It examines the reasons why disputes arise in the first place, and offers four methods for resolving them: negotiation, arbitration and litigation, non-binding arbitration, and mediation. Using simple Venn diagrams, graohs, and charts, author Richard Hill makes a potentially dry subject come alive for the reader. You should give this page a read before you rush into the coutroom with both guns blazing. There may be a better way, after all.
