Q: Why do individuals and institutions resolve disputes using the FORUM instead of filing cases in court?
A: The FORUM resolves disputes in a manner that is faster, simpler, and less expensive than traditional courtroom litigation. Businesses and government agencies adopt dispute resolution programs to reduce their legal expenses and to resolve business and consumer disputes more quickly, privately, and amicably than they could in court.

Individuals use our ADR services for the same reasons, and also because many are unable to access the court system due to the cost of attorney/court fees, scheduling conflicts, or the inability to find an attorney willing to take their case. Moreover, court decisions that are appealed may undergo an additional lengthy and costly court proceeding, unaffordable to many private citizens. The FORUM’s arbitration services offer these individuals the opportunity to have their dispute resolved efficiently and inexpensively, with the same legally binding outcome they would receive in court.
