Arbitration is another form of alternative dispute resolution in which two parties agree to appear before one or more arbitrators, who then review the case and render a legally binding decision.

Like mediation, arbitration can be significantly less costly and time-consuming than litigating a matter in court. However, there the similarities between the two methods end. Whereas mediators assist the disputing parties in coming to an agreement, an arbitrator passes judgment after listening to and evaluating the merits of each party’s case.
