Getting to the conclusion of a contractual dispute, antitrust, complex civil litigation, or consumer credit case can be a hard nut to crack. The wheels of justice tend to turn slowly. That being the case, you are likely to spend much time in court stressed with the lawsuit you are facing. And that is why many people and corporations are now shifting to alternative dispute resolution methods.
The ADR method requires the use of an arbitrator, mediator, or negotiator to come on board and solve the matter at hand. Therefore, there is no need of having to hire a lawyer and go to court. Such conflict resolution methods do offer a wide range of benefits. It is for that reason why ADR methods are increasingly becoming popular. They have the following benefits.
Solving Cases On Time
Court cases tend to take a lot of time. Despite the emphasis on international judicial relations that advocates for the judiciary working in conjunction with others in a way that ensures justice is served, that is not always the case. Some innocent people have gone to jail as a result of a flawed judicial system. The mission of international judicial relations continues to be a mirage. So, it is important to resort to other methods that will ensure that conflicting parties can handle their differences amicable. That is why the use of ADR methods is so appealing. Both parties can get a chance to save time. The ability to avoid long court battles is a great stress reliever. So, the parties in conflict can choose an experienced mediator to deal with their case. Therefore, no need of having to go throw the long process of hiring a lawyer in the first place.
Get Rid Of Attorney Fees
Paying attorney fees can be a burden. There are instances whereby you might be forced to fork out a lot of money to pay your lawyer. That is when you do not hire a lawyer that is within your budget. Besides, if you lose your case, that is money wasted. And with many courts that show disregard for international judicial relations, there are possibilities of you losing your case due to corruption. That is not something you should expose yourself to. How do you avoid such an instance? You have to embrace alternative dispute resolution methods. You do not have to stress about paying attorney fees. The mediator will be the one to handle your case. And that can be done within a very short time hence getting back to your daily activities sooner.
Share Your Side Of The Story
Every party needs to be hard in any dispute. There is fairness especially when it comes to making a ruling. Alternative dispute resolution methods grant you that. The mediator or arbitrator that is overseeing the dispute resolution process will allow each one of you to tell your story. After everyone has shared their side of the story, deliberations will be made in order to arrive at the right settlement. That way, both parties are easily satisfied with the final decision.
Prevents Conflict Escalation
Now that getting justice through courts is not easier, the parties in a dispute are able to escalate their conflict. That party that feels unfairly treated might consider moving to the appellate court. That means more money being spent in terms of attorney fees. Besides, you have to spare time to continue attending court sessions. The international judicial relations mission might not come in handy. But with ADR methods, there is s sense of fairness and finality to a case. The mediator is able to listen to both of you and reach a settlement that is fair to all. In that way, any conflict that was bound to escalate is dealt with accordingly.
Conclusion
Alternative dispute resolution methods are making the process of resolving conflicts and disputes fair and easy. Arbitrators and mediators are used in order to help the conflicting parties reach a resolution that is acceptable to all of them. This is through the opportunity of being allowed to share their side of the story with the mediator. Once that is done, a ruling is made.
