Dispute Resolution processes fall into two major types: Adjudicative processes, such as litigation or arbitration, in which a judge, jury or arbitrator determines the outcome. Consensual processes, such as collaborative law, mediation, conciliation, or negotiation, in which the parties attempt to reach agreement. The latter options are generally the best way to approach issues as they are cost effective, quicker, and allow the parties more options in terms of solutions.
