Mediation is a process of intervention in which an impartial third party helps to facilitate a settlement or compromise between conflicting parties. The mediator assists the parties in exploring their differences, identifying common ground, and reaching an agreement that is acceptable to all parties. Arbitration involves the parties agreeing to submit their dispute to a third-party decision-maker who will render a final and binding decision. Litigation involves the parties going to court to have a judge or jury decide the outcome of the dispute. Minitrial involves the parties presenting abbreviated versions of their cases to a panel of executives or experts who then help to facilitate settlement negotiations. Rent-a-judge is a process in which a private judge is hired to preside over a case instead of a public judge.
