Arbitration, mediation & alternative dispute resolution

Summary
Details

Efficient, effective and ethical resolution of disputes is central to civil society. However, resolution processes are subject to significant practical and policy issues. The revised and updated second edition of Resolving Civil Disputes identifies and explores these challenges.

Structured to address the roles that litigation and various other forms of dispute resolution play in resolving civil disputes in the modern era, this book fosters an understanding of how to evaluate and select the most appropriate resolution technique for a civil dispute, through processes such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. The book explains the distinctive and vital role of litigation, while questioning whether a broader view of justice may be taken and how the courts and alternative dispute resolution may interact. The mechanics of litigation and mediation are examined through insights into the key steps of each process.

The utility of dispute resolution techniques to deliver access to justice is discussed with attention placed on those members of society who suffer economic or social disadvantage. The text explores key responses to a lack of access to justice such as legal aid, pro bono, class actions and litigation funding. The text also examines the impact of technology on lawyers, litigation and alternative dispute resolution and addresses the development and practice of transnational litigation.

The clear and authoritative analysis has been contributed by leading experts from the judiciary, academia, legal and dispute resolution practice. This unique text provides invaluable guidance for practitioners, policy-makers, students, researchers and anyone interested in dispute resolution techniques.
