Alternative Dispute Resolution: Concept, Criticism and Future of Arbitration and Mediation

Abstract

    Settlement of disputes either in the courtroom or outside the courtroom requires the expeditious dispensation of justice as “justice delayed is justice denied” and “justice hurried is justice buried.” While maintaining the thin line between hurried and delayed dispensation of justice, the alternative dispute resolution processes are in trends in legal markets and are embellished with the characteristics of amicable, inexpensive, and expeditious resolution of conflict, hence, attracting the aggrieved parties to resolve their disputes through “arbitration, mediation, conciliation, and hybrid processes”. With this intent, this article explores the concept of alternative dispute resolution processes in general and arbitration and mediation in particular. Rendering qualitative methods, this article critically describes the difference between arbitration and mediation and spent ink to point out the in-depth criticism of the processes and to predict the future of techniques of alternative dispute resolution.
