About Blog Defamation Mediation
Dispute Resolution History
ADR, also known as "Alternative Dispute Resolution' has a long U.S. and International History. The U.S. Government introduced ADR in 1887 when it passed the Interstate Commerce Act. The Act set up a procedure for voluntary submission of labor disputes to arbitration by the railroads and their employees. In 1925, Congress passed the Federal Arbitration Act which governs the arbitration of contractual disputes involving commerce. Between 1899 and 1907, the League of Nations conducted meetings on the use of alternative dispute resolution and adopted arbitration as an international dispute mechanism.
The recorded history of meditation travels back to ancient times. Over thousands of years, meditation evolved into a standard legal practice. Indian scriptures called 'tantras' mentioned meditation techniques 5000 years ago.
Alternative Dispute Resolution is comprised of many components such as negotiation, facilitation, mediation conciliation, arbitration and litigation. To understand the sequence, we can start with how disputes originate. Disputes start out as simple annoyances, gripes or complaints before turning into serious conflicts. Most businesses and individuals overlook the early warnings or try to "band-aid" the problem. Generally, it's our human nature to avoid dealing with a problem until it becomes a real crisis.
Blog Defamation Negotiation and Facilitation
The Blog Defamation ADR process starts here. Many Blog Defamation disputes are solved by simple negotiation. The disputants talk and work out their differences. Other times, they ask a friend to intervene as a facilitator to help the exchange of information.
Blog Defamation Mediation and Conciliation
When disputes can not be worked, a professional procedure is Mediation. Blog Defamation Mediation involves a neutral trained professional who conducts a formal meeting with the disputants. The Mediator's goal is to amicably resolve the dispute through voluntary efforts. The Mediator uses persuasion and people skills to facilitate dialogue to reach a settlement. When voluntary resolution is not forthcoming, the Mediator utilizes their experience and expertise to suggest possible outcomes. This intervention is referred to as Conciliation. Both Mediation and Conciliation allows the disputants to maintain relationships and offers the greatest opportunity for creative problem solving.
Blog Defamation Arbitration
Arbitration is an adversarial process where a neutral Arbitrator renders a decision, called an award, after there has been a presentation of evidence. Like a court trial, arbitration may include representation by legal counsel, pre-hearing discovery, examination of witnesses and presentations. Arbitration is a mandatory process where the Arbitrator's decision is final. If disputants go to arbitration, they are usually prohibited from filing a court lawsuit. Whereas, in mediation and conciliation if a resolution is not voluntary reached, the disputants still have the option to file for arbitration or a court lawsuit.
Blog Defamation Court Litigation
Sometimes when mediation and conciliation do not provide desired outcomes, traditional court litigation is the best action, especially when punitive damages are sought. Lawsuits can take months to schedule, drag out sometimes for years before any kind of resolution is attained. Besides monetary cost in legal fees, there are losses in personal relationships and in our overall health.
