Arbitration & Mediation
: National Arbitration Forum BlogCourt-Ordered Mediation Is a Good Alternative to Trial
In his weekly law column at Victoria Advocate, University of Houston Law Professor Richard Alderman explains mediation to a Texan wondering:
I filed a claim in small claims court. I have been told that before my trial I will have to mediate the case. What is this? Do I have to do it? How much does it cost?
He explains that mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that gives the parties an opportunity, with a mediator, to work things out before a trial. He opines that court-mandated mediation "is always a good idea" because it does not cost anything, and settling a claim is almost always better than taking the chance on a trial.
