Before an arbitration, parties must agree that the arbitration will be either binding or non-binding.

Most arbitrations are binding: the parties agree that after they present their case to the arbitrator, the arbitrator will decide their case and render an award. The arbitrators decision will be final and binding on all parties to the arbitration.

Some arbitrations are non-binding: the parties agree that the arbitrator will not impose a decision and the parties may ask the arbitrator to make recommendations as to what the outcome might be.  Insight gained in a non-binding arbitration may help parties settle their case sooner rather than later.

Our law firm handles only medical malpractice cases—a type of case that is very difficult to settle except by mediators who understand the complex emotions involved and what is at risk when such cases go to trial.  I trust ADR Systems' panel of mediators.  They have settled cases I truly thought incapable of settlement. I highly recommend them.
