Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mediation is the appropriate choice as it is a process where a mediator assists two parties or more in resolving their conflicts and reaching an agreement voluntarily. The mediator remains neutral and helps the parties in understanding their real interest and options without imposing any decision on them. On the other hand, in arbitration, parties present their arguments to an arbitrator, and the arbitrator decides the dispute. Litigation refers to the formal proceedings in a court of law, and a mini-trial is a process where the parties present their arguments to a neutral panel, and the panel provides a nonbinding decision. Rent-a-judge refers to the appointment of a retired judge as a private judge to resolve a dispute.
