Robert Hunt presented on the rise of expert determination as an alternative to arbitration. He discussed key differences between the two processes, with expert determination being less formal and allowing the expert to use their expertise to make determinations, unlike arbitrators. Expert determination can provide substantial savings in time and costs compared to arbitration. However, it does not allow for discovery of documents and subpoenas, and determinations must be enforced through courts. While anecdotally popular as part of tiered dispute resolution processes, data from one organization showed slightly more requests for arbitration than expert determination.

Arbitration Overview
Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution process where parties present evidence to an impartial arbitrator, who makes a final and binding decision. It is commonly used to settle labor, commercial, and international disputes. The arbitration process is typically outlined in an agreement and involves selecting an arbitrator, scheduling a hearing, presenting evidence and arguments, and receiving a final ruling. While arbitration is a more informal and private process than litigation, its use has increased as courts now generally support and enforce arbitration awards.

Introduction
Alternative Dispute Resolution also known as Appropriate Dispute Resolution is a term used to
describe a way in which disputes are settled without the help/support from courts. This
technique will resolve disputes in a non-confrontational way whereby parties involved will
engage in a negotiation state and come up with a mutually agreed solution to solve their
disputes.
Disputes/ conflicts have existed in all cultures, religions, and societies since time immemorial, as
long as humans have walked the earth. In fact, they also exist in the animal kingdom.
Philosophies and procedures for dealing with conflicts have been part of the human heritage,
differing between cultures and societies. Nations, groups, and individuals have tried throughout
history to manage conflicts in order to minimize the negative and undesirable effects that they
may pose. Conflicts can develop in any situation where people interact, in every situation where
two or more persons, or groups of people, perceive that their interests are opposing, and that
these interests cannot be met to the satisfaction of all the parties involved. Since conflicts a
have become a part of human interaction, one must learn to handle them in a way that will
prevent further disagreement and learn how to come up with best solution, innovative and
creative ideas to resolve them. The ADR “movement” started in the United States in the 1970s
in response to the need to find more efficient and effective alternatives to litigation. Today, ADR
is flourishing throughout the world because it has proven itself, in multiple ways, to be a better
way to resolve disputes.
The various forms of an alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
Alternative dispute resolution has various form which include
Negotiation
Negotiation is a process in which parties to a dispute discuss possible outcomes
directly with each other. Parties exchange proposals and demands, make arguments,
and continue the discussion until a solution is reached, or an impasse declared. In
negotiations there are three approaches to resolving the dispute, each with a
different orientation and focus, interest based, rights based, and power based and
they can result in different outcomes.
Interest Based Negotiation
This approach shifts the focus of the discussion from positions to interests. Because
there are many interests underlying any position, a discussion based on interests
opens up a range of possibilities and creative options, whereas positions very often
cannot be reconciled and may therefore lead to a dead end. The dialogue on interest
should be transparent, in order for the parties to arrive at an agreement that will
satisfy the needs and interests of the parties.

Negotiation
Negotiation is a process where parties involved try to reach an agreement or compromise on issues through discussion. It can occur in business, legal, and personal contexts. There are generally two types of negotiation: distributive negotiation which involves bargaining for a limited set of resources, and integrative negotiation which aims to expand resources and find mutually beneficial outcomes through cooperation. Effective negotiation requires understanding interests, having a plan, gathering information, and practicing negotiation skills. Training can help improve business negotiation abilities.

Peer Mediation
Peer mediation is a program designed to help children resolve problems on their own without involving parents or authorities. It introduces a process where trained student mediators help their peers solve conflicts through open communication and finding mutually agreeable solutions. The document provides an example of a successful mediation between two students, Sherman and Jimmy, showing how the program can help anyone agree to set aside differences and get along. It argues that peer mediation and similar programs teaching communication and problem-solving skills should be implemented in all education levels.
Negotiation
Negotiation is a method to settle differences and reach compromise or agreement without argument. There are two main types of negotiation - distributive and integrative. Distributive negotiation involves bargaining over a fixed amount of value, while integrative negotiation aims to create value and find solutions where both parties benefit. Successful negotiation requires preparation, open discussion to clarify goals, and finding outcomes where all sides achieve mutual gains. Various strategies like making multiple offers simultaneously can help negotiations succeed in resolving conflicts to the satisfaction of all parties involved.

Part I What Every Executive Should Know About Dispute Resolution
This document discusses alternative dispute resolution options for resolving business disputes, focusing on mediation and arbitration. It provides information on four dispute resolution processes - mediation, arbitration, negotiation, and litigation. Mediation involves a neutral third party helping parties reach a mutually agreeable settlement. Arbitration involves a binding decision by an arbitrator. Negotiation involves direct discussions between parties. Litigation involves a public, adversarial process where a judge decides a winner. The document emphasizes that mediation and arbitration are better than litigation when future relationships are important.
Knowledge of negotiation techniques
There are three main negotiation techniques: integrative negotiation, distributive negotiation, and principled negotiation. Integrative negotiation aims for a win-win outcome where both parties are satisfied. It requires understanding the other side's interests and finding mutually beneficial solutions. Distributive negotiation results in win-lose outcomes as parties compete over a fixed set of resources. It is best for short-term relationships. Principled negotiation is a variation of integrative negotiation that focuses on interests over positions, generates options, and bases agreements on objective criteria to strengthen long-term relationships.

arbitration and it's types.pptx
This document discusses arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process. It defines arbitration as resolving disputes through a neutral third party arbitrator whose decision is binding. There are two main types of arbitration: ad hoc, which is informal, and institutional, which is more formalized. Arbitration is commonly used for international, construction, and employment disputes and offers advantages over litigation such as confidentiality, speed, lower cost, and flexibility to choose an arbitrator with subject matter expertise.

Important Terms for Mediation
- 2. Dementian Guschov, a graduate of both the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and the Wentworth Institute of Technology, currently serves as president and chief executive officer of Andover Management, Corp., in Andover, Massachusetts. Dementian Guschov has more than three decades of professional experience in areas of mediation and arbitration, particularly in connection to the construction and architectural industries.
- 3. There are a number of key terms and phrases mediation professionals use in order to distinguish aspects of mediation service from related processes such as arbitration and litigation. "Voluntary" is perhaps the definitive term, as arbitration and litigation are both legally binding processes. Any party involved in mediation, meanwhile, can withdraw from proceedings at any time.
- 4. "Collaborative" is another essential word to use when discussing mediation. While litigation and arbitration tend to pit parties against one another, mediation focuses on shared desires to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. Engaged parties work together, rather than against one another, in order to succeed. When it comes to the actual mediator, "neutrality" and "impartiality" are terms that should be emphasized. The mediator is expected to facilitate conversation and guide discussions. At no time should the mediator favor the interests of one party or make a personal stake in the outcome of the mediation process.
