Both a minitrial and a summary jury trial involve the disputing parties conferring to reach a settlement after the process is completed. However, in a minitrial, the third-party neutral acts as an adviser and the decision is non-binding, while in a summary jury trial, the jurors render a non-binding verdict that can help the parties reach a settlement. Therefore, options A, B, and D are not common between these two methods of dispute resolution.
