Investor protection FAQs | New York State Attorney General
FINRA offers the largest arbitration forum in the securities industry, but several other arbitration forums are also available to you as an investor.
Arbitration is not part of the court system. It can be quicker and less expensive than filing a lawsuit. But, because arbitration is binding and is subject to review by a court on a very limited basis, ask an attorney for advice before you agree to arbitration.

 

What is mediation?

Mediation is an informal alternative to arbitration. In the mediation process, a neutral third person — the mediator — helps disputing parties reach an agreement. Unlike an arbitrator, the mediator has no power to impose a decision on the parties.
FINRA offers investors the option of voluntary mediation to settle disputes with firms or brokers. While a typical arbitration case can take nearly a year, many mediation cases result in settlements within weeks, according to FINRA.

The arbitration process
Arbitration begins when you file a claim and pay a filing fee to an arbitration service.
Legal representation
There are few formal rules governing either procedure or evidence at an arbitration hearing. Both sides present evidence and the hearing seldom lasts more than a day or two. But do not make the mistake of thinking that arbitration is informal, like small claims court. Brokerage firms will always be represented by attorneys at arbitration hearings. While you are not required to use an attorney, we suggest that you consider hiring one.
About the arbitrator
Depending on the dollar amount of your claim, your case may be heard by a single arbitrator or a panel of three arbiters. Arbiters are more strictly bound by the rules of law and equity than are arbitrators, who have more latitude to use their discretion in judgments. During the proceeding, the arbitrator or panel will hold a hearing, listen to oral testimony, review the evidence, and render a decision.
How are cases settled?
Arbitration hearings can be held at almost any location convenient to the parties.
Arbitrators usually are required to make a decision in 30 business days.
Arbitrators are not required to provide reasons for their decisions.

Alternative Dispute Resolution may assist with solving your legal problem.
Most people solve their legal problems without a trial. "ADR" can help.
What is ADR?
ADR ("Alternative Dispute Resolution") is a way to solve legal problems without going through trial. Two examples are arbitration and mediation. MORE>>
Arbitration
Arbitration is like a trial, but it is less formal. It takes place in an office, not a courtroom. The parties (people with a legal dispute) present their evidence to an "arbitrator." The arbitrator decides who wins the case and how much they win. There are two kinds of arbitration. "Binding" arbitration means that the arbitrator’s decision is final. There is no appeal or trial after that decision. "Nonbinding" arbitration means that after the arbitration, either party can request a trial. But, if the party who requests the trial gets a worse decision at trial, there may be penalties.
Mediation
Mediation is nothing like a trial. The parties meet with a mediator in an office. The mediator may meet with the parties separately or together. The mediator listens to all the parties and tries to help them work out a solution that works for everyone. The mediator does not make a decision and does not talk to the judge about the case.

There are many advantages to mediation:

Mediation can be more satisfying:

In mediation, the parties have more control over the outcome of the dispute.

Mediation saves time:

Your dispute may be resolved in less time than it takes to proceed.

Mediation saves money:

The number of trips to court are reduced, saving time and money.

Mediation encourages cooperation:

The parties can work together, with the help of the mediator, to resolve their case in a way that makes sense to them.

Mediation can reduce stress:

Mediation is informal, and saves time and money. There are fewer court appearances required and the dispute can be resolved sooner, so you don’t have an unresolved dispute hanging over your head for years.

Mediation encourages participation:

In mediation, the parties have more opportunity to tell their side of the story.

How Does the Mediation Program Work?

What is Mediation?

 	Mediation services for Unlawful Detainer litigants are available on site at the 
 	Carol Miller Justice
 	Center on the day set for trial. Mediation is an alternative form of dispute resolution that has proven
 	very effective in helping Unlawful Detainer litigants to resolve their cases. During a mediation session,
 	a mediator meets with both parties of an Unlawful Detainer action and helps them gain a deeper understanding
 	of their conflict so they can create their own solutions to the dispute.

 	For more information on mediation statewide, please check the Judicial Council of California's Web site,
 	
 	Unlawful Detainer Court Information Center - external link.

Why Use Mediation?

 	Mediation can be beneficial to both plaintiffs and defendants. Mediators are specially trained to help people with conflicts
 	find constructive ways to resolve them. Even if the other party involved in the case seems unreasonable or you have already
Alternative Dispute Resolution | Alameda eCourt Public Portal
Day of Court Mediation Program - Through this program, the court offers free mediation services for small claims, unlawful detainers, and civil harassment cases. The court offers these services in collaboration with volunteer mediators. Parties interested in these services may ask for them the day of their trial or settlement conference. Availability of these services is dependent on volunteer mediators’ availability and participation.

Arbitration - A neutral person (arbitrator) hears arguments and evidence from each side and then decides the outcome of the dispute. Arbitration is less formal than a trial and the rules of evidence are often relaxed. Arbitration is effective when the parties want someone other than themselves to decide the outcome.

Judicial Arbitration Program (non-binding): The judge can refer a case or the parties can agree to use judicial arbitration. The parties select an arbitrator from a list provided by the court. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, one will be assigned by the court. There is no fee for the arbitrator. The arbitrator must send the decision (award of the arbitrator) to the court. The parties have the right to reject the award and proceed to trial.
Private Arbitration (binding and non-binding) occurs when parties involved in a dispute either agree or are contractually obligated. This option takes place outside of the courts and is normally binding meaning the arbitrator's decision is final.

What Are The Advantages Of Using ADR?

Faster - Litigation can take years to complete but ADR usually takes weeks or months.
Cheaper - Parties can save on attorneys' fees and litigation costs.
More control and flexibility - Parties choose the ADR process appropriate for their case.
Cooperative and less stressful - In mediation, parties cooperate to find a mutually agreeable resolution.
Preserve Relationships - A mediator can help you effectively communicate your interests and point of view to the other side. This is an important benefit when you want to preserve a relationship.

Mediation services are non-recommending, which means the mediator does not testify in court or write any recommendation to the court.

The Superior Court of California, County of Alameda strongly encourages the parties to use some form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) before proceeding to trial.
The person who files a civil lawsuit (plaintiff) must include the ADR Information Packet with the complaint when serving the defendant. Cross complainants must serve the ADR Information Packet on any new parties named to the action.
You may choose ADR by:

Indicating your preference on Case Management Form CM-110;
Filing the Stipulation to ADR and Delay Initial Case Management Conference for 90 Days (a local form included with the information packet); or
Agree to ADR at your Initial Case Management Conference.

What ADR Options Are Available?
Mediation - A neutral person (mediator) helps the parties communicate, clarify facts, identify legal issues, explore settlement options, and agree on a solution that is acceptable to all sides.

Court Mediation Program: Mediators do not charge fees for the first two hours of mediation. If parties need more time, they must pay the mediator's regular fees. Some mediators ask for a deposit before mediation starts, which is subject to a refund for unused time.
Private Mediation: This is mediation where the parties pay the mediator's regular fees and may choose a mediator outside the court's panel.

Day of Court Mediation Program - Through this program, the court offers free mediation services for small claims, unlawful detainers, and civil harassment cases. The court offers these services in collaboration with volunteer mediators. Parties interested in these services may ask for them the day of their trial or settlement conference.

Mediación en casos de desalojo | California Courts | Self Help Guide
La mediación puede ocurrir justo antes de su juicio
Algunas cortes tienen personas disponibles para ayudarlo a mediar en la fecha de su juicio. Antes de que comience el juicio, un mediador puede ayudar a las partes a acordar si el inquilino se mudará o pagará dinero al propietario, o si el propietario hará reparaciones en la casa. Esto puede proteger al inquilino de tener un fallo de desalojo en su historial de crédito. Averigüe en el Centro de ayuda de su corte si la mediación está disponible en su corte.
Beneficios de la mediación
Es menos estresante que ir a la corte.
No tiene que ser en la corte.
Le da tiempo para encontrar soluciones creativas.
Puede hablar sobre cosas que no se mencionan directamente en la demanda.
Es privada y confidencial, y los acuerdos a los que llega no tienen que ser públicos.
Crea acuerdos los cuales es más probable que las personas sigan que las órdenes de la corte.
Le ayuda a preservar su relación con la otra parte.
Acuerdos comunes en casos de mediación
Los acuerdos de mediación están hechos a la medida de su situación. A continuación, se muestran algunos ejemplos de los tipos de acuerdos que los propietarios e inquilinos pueden hacer con la ayuda de un mediador:
El inquilino puede seguir viviendo en su casa, pero pagar los costos relacionados con los pagos atrasados de la renta (por ejemplo, cuotas bancarias que el propietario tuvo que pagar).
Investor protection FAQs | New York State Attorney General
A legitimate multilevel marketing company emphasizes reliable products or services. A pyramid scheme uses products or services to disguise its objective: to collect money from investors on the bottom levels to pay other investors further up the pyramid.
In a typical pyramid scheme, new investors must pay a fee to sell the products or services and to recruit others into the pyramid for rewards. Very often, the victim must buy products or services that are impossible to sell, and the pyramid’s promoters refuse to repurchase them. By contrast, legitimate multilevel marketing companies will buy back unsold merchandise, although often at a discount from the original price.
In legitimate multilevel marketing, success is based on two factors: the quality of the company's products and services, and the hard work required to to sell them. Recruitment of new investors is secondary.

Arbitration and mediation of disputes
Most customer agreements with a securities broker-dealer include an "arbitration clause" that requires arbitration if you have a dispute over your rights or liabilities under the agreement. Even if your broker-dealer has violated securities laws, this provision will almost always prevent you from filing a lawsuit. Instead, you will be required to take your complaint to binding arbitration.
As an investor, you are not required to sign an agreement that requires arbitration of disputes. If you don't, however, you will find it almost impossible to find a broker-dealer who will do business with you. You can ask to remove the arbitration requirement from the agreement.
Keep in mind that, in the event of a dispute, arbitration may be faster and less expensive than the courts.

Arbitration is a process of dispute resolution between two parties. A neutral third party — the arbitrator — hears both parties present their case, then makes a decision.
