What Is Mediation and Arbitration?

Mediation is an ADR process where a third-party neutral (mediator) facilities communication between disputing parties in order to reach a successful resolution. Many times, courts will require mediation before litigation can even begin. If a solution is reached, the agreement is binding. Parties can still have the option of moving on towards litigation. However, details of a mediation conference are always confidential and cannot be used in court.

Types of mediation can include:

• Personal injury mediation
• Foreclosure mediation
• Real estate mediation
• General tort mediation
• Wrongful death mediation
• Product liability mediation
• Medical malpractice mediation
• Landlord/tenant mediation
• Commercial and business mediation
• Contract mediation
• Construction mediation

Arbitration differs from mediation in that an arbitrator or panel presides over a case, and the decision is oftentimes binding. Arbitrations are more similar to a trial and parties can almost never appeal a decision.
