What is Arbitration?

Many courts will also order that cases be subjected to arbitration before they can come to court as a dispute. While similar to a trial, arbitration is less formal and can often be less time consuming and expensive. One or more neutral arbitrators are selected to hear the dispute. Arbitrators can act like a judge, as they hear the case and make a final decision.

Mediation is another means of resolution and can sometimes be court-ordered before a case is brought to trial.
