Q: How is arbitration different from mediation?

A: Mediation uses a neutral mediator to work with both parties. The mediator facilitates discussion and helps both parties work towards a consensus and a resolution that both sides can accept. In an arbitration, the neutral arbitrator hears both sides of an issue and makes a decision. Generally, the parties in an arbitration are bound to accept the arbitrator’s ruling.
