An Overview of Alternative Dispute Resolution

In this highly informative course, Christopher O'Donnell discusses the ins and outs of alternative dispute resolution.

Arbitration, mediation, and summary jury trials are all viable and expedient options that can replace the need for litigation in many instances. These forms of alternative dispute resolution are less expensive and less time-consuming, which may appeal to the client you represent. Mr. O’Donnell urges attorneys to consider these options for their cases and offers instructive guidance for navigating these processes. He also emphasizes that the pandemic has prolonged in-person trials, so handling cases outside of the courts may offer a preferable course of action, depending on the client’s needs.

Mr. O’Donnell provides examples and real-life scenarios from his extensive experiences with mediation, arbitration, and summary jury trials to shed light on their advantages and potential drawbacks. This course provides a comprehensive overview of alternative dispute resolution that is both educational and engaging.
