Chapter 4 Settling Disputes

Settling Disputes How do we settle disputes in our society? What if we had no procedure for peacefully handing conflict?

Settling Disputes NEGOTIATION People involved in a dispute discuss their problems and try to reach an acceptable solution Can be an informal process Attorneys use negotiations to reach settlements even when a lawsuit has been filed

Settling Disputes NEGOTIATIONS Negotiations often result in settlements If you settle, you cannot also continue with a lawsuit Client consent is required

Settling Disputes NEGOTIATIONS Neither sides gets 100% of what they want – must give and take WHY settle? Save time, money, and uncertainty of a trial

Settling Disputes ARBITRATION The parties to a dispute have one or more persons listen to their argument and make a decision for them

Settling Disputes ARBITRATION Arbitrator is like a judge Proceedings can be LIKE a trial, but less formal Many arbitrations are BINDING – the parties MUST abide by the decision

Settling Disputes ARBITRATION When is arbitration used? Included in many contracts Parties MUST go to arbitration instead of filing a lawsuit Common in labor contracts

Settling Disputes MEDIATION A third party helps disputing parties talk about their problem and settle their differences

Settling Disputes MEDIATION The mediator does NOT make the decision The mediator helps the parties to come to a decision

Settling Disputes MEDIATION The mediator must be neutral! Voluntary – may not result in a decision
