✦ Synopsis

In the eyes of many practitioners, the high litigation costs that sparked an increased emphasis on alternative dispute resolution has resulted only in discrete options: arbitration, mediation or even carrying on litigation despite the costs. Not so, writes American Bar Foundation director and author Bryant G . Garth. The processes have been changing and the lines are blurring. The changes are related not only to law, but also to general business practices. Garth notes that these changes aren't merely academic considerations, and understanding them is essential to dispute resolution practice.
