Mediation and Arbitration fall under the form of law called Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The reason why you should consider engaging in ADR is it helps avoid the high cost of litigation. In nearly all cases, ADR is mandatory either by law or will be ordered by the court. Mediation is confidential and cannot be used against a party later. It is also considered "settlement negotiations/discussion" and therefore generally inadmissible if it fails to resolve the dispute. You should approach ADR with sincerity and make a real effort to resolve any dispute. For everyone involved it is less expensive and more predictable than moving forward with litigation in court.

It seems that most of my work product in lawsuits lands in ADR. Very rarely do I see a case proceed to trial. That is because of the expense involved as well as a credit to the effectiveness of ADR. Approaching your particular legal issue with ADR in mind is crucial to managing your costs and predicting the eventual outcome.
