: National Arbitration Forum BlogCase Study: Arbitration Successfully Keeps Civil Cases Out of Nevada Courts
In Northern Nevada, court-annexed arbitration programs have served to reduce the number of civil cases decided in the courts since 1994. The programs steer civil cases under $25,000 into arbitration, freeing up the time of district judges for larger cases and saving courts, disputing parties, and taxpayers time and money."These are strictly money cases," said Special Master Steve McMorris in a recent article. "The vast majority are personal injury, breach of contract or collection cases."
Reportedly more than 1,000 civil cases were filed in the arbitration program over the past four years in the Douglas County program.
