In arbitration the parties to a dispute present the facts and arguments about the conflict to a neutral arbitrator who makes a decision about the matter in dispute. Like mediation, arbitration is also confidential and private. It is a faster and simpler process than litigation and decisions are generally binding. Arbitration can be conducted in a face to face hearing or it can be performed based on the written documents that the parties submit. Most arbitration is done through large organizations such as the National Arbitration Forum. Arbitration is the required method of dispute resolution provided for in many contracts. The Montgomery County Maryland Bar Association has an arbitration program. For more information about this program email us.
