The Image of Litigation
Television dramas glamorize the courtroom. Charismatic TV lawyers battle their opponents; they swiftly discover incriminating evidence, build a case overnight, proceed to trial, and the case is resolved in a little less than an hour. Many people expect the same when they bring their dispute to court.
The Reality
The halls of justice are less swift, less exciting, and far more complex and costly than shown on television. Only about 2% of all court case filings ever make it to trial: aspiring litigants are greeted with overloaded court dockets, scheduling conflicts, trial delays and ongoing attorney fees. In this environment, disputes may not be resolved for years.
The Solution
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a more efficient, predictable and amicable way to resolve conflicts and achieve legal decisions without the expense and inconvenience of going to court. That’s why more and more people are resolving their legal disputes through ADR programs such as mediation and arbitration. They enjoy a simpler, less expensive process and greater scheduling flexibility while achieving the same legal outcome.
