Alternative Methods of Dispute Resolution

by Martin A. Frey

Why should paralegals know about ADR? Situations that call for understanding the alternatives to litigation and involve planning and preparing for selecting and executing dispute resolution strategies may arise. Paralegals may represent parties in ADR proceedings before administrative agencies or serve as third party neutrals. This book uncovers the distinguishing factors, advantages and disadvantages of various methods in ADR, and helps legal professionals understand each process to determine and carry out dispute resolution strategies. Each chapter includes examples and issues that give paralegals opportunities to examine potential solutions and develop their reasoning abilities. Judicial options show how the courts handle dispute resolution issues when the outcome is not certain. Web site resources, a glossary, and index provide quick references for locating materials in the book.

Well what can I say, this book did it's job, I now have a much better grasp of our legal system and the process of mediation. The book is extremely redundant, repeating concepts over and over but that helped with learning it so who am I to complain?
