TEXT 9

Alternatives to Litigation. Alternative Dispute Resolution. “Alternative dispute reso-

lution” is a phrase used to describe the development and use of various methods or tech-

niques to settle conflict. As used here, the phrase stresses the use of methods or techniques

as alternatives to, or substitutes for, traditional litigation. Alternative dispute resolution can

offer viable substitutes to the expense and stress of litigation. Various methods or tech-

niques can be employed, depending upon the nature of the dispute. Examples are: negotia-

tion; mediation; arbitration; minitrials.

Negotiation is generally part of all attempts at conciliation or settlement. Each attorney

represents her client’s interests in discussions with opposing counsel. The client may or

may not be present, but the client’s concerns and desired resolution of the question must be

considered and advanced. Based on her experience and evaluation of the case, the attorney

should counsel the client on what a reasonable outcome might be.

Mediation requires the use of a neutral third party who guides the parties through the

contested issues, while allowing each side to focus on and define its true interests. A media-

tor is a facilitator and not a judge. The mediator’s responsibility is to maintain a calm en-

vironment which promotes agreement. A mediator does not force the parties to relinquish

their basic concerns, but helps both sides create a workable solution.
