Many people are unaware that there are alternatives to suing one another. In a traditional court proceeding, the parties each retain their own attorney and argue their side of the issue before a judge. This is an adversarial procedure that often leaves the parties dissatisfied with the result and angry with one another. This process can take a long time and be very costly as well. But there is another way.
Mediation is a peaceful and cost-effective alternative.
The parties are empowered to reach a decision that they can live with instead of having one imposed upon them. Also, the process is usually quicker and less expensive. The next time you or someone you know is involved in a dispute, yet maintaining harmony is important to the people involved, remember mediation. It is quickly becoming the preferred alternative dispute resolution technique. It may be freely printed and forwarded.
