Disputants agree to refer to arbitration and agree to be bound by the arbitration decision. The arbitrator reviews the evidence in the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding on the parties. keutgen define arbitration as ‘a form of dispute resolution which is based on a private agreement and which leads to a decision having res judicata effect. Such decision is the result of the activity of one or more individuals whose power to determine the dispute derives from the common will of the parties’.
The characteristic, in which arbitration is distinguishable from other forms of dispute resolution, is the most important character of the binding nature of the decisions. Bucher emphasizes the power of the arbitrator to render “an award which becomes res judicata in the same way as a judgment”. The broadest definition for arbitration was provided by poudert and lesson in which it states “ arbitration is a contractual form of dispute resolution exercised by individuals, appointed directly or indirectly by parties, and vested with the power to adjudicate the dispute in the place of state court by rendering a decision having effects analogous to those of a judgment.

...tions or disputes between different countries. National courts follow procedures in accordance with the national law set down by the state. These laws in case of and international dispute might not fit well to solve the dispute at hand. National courts are generally open to public; anyone can go in to follow an ongoing case.
Another major factor differentiating national courts to arbitration is the rigidity of national court procedures. National courts follow civil procedures or rules to a way in which cases are conducted. “The procedural rules or code lay down the basis for the courts jurisdictions, the circumstances in which an action can be brought, which national court has jurisdiction over a particular type of dispute, how to initiate proceedings, what documents must be filed, the rights of reply, and how the case, generally, should be conducted”.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) involves resolution methods and approaches that fall outside the structure of the judicial process. Despite its praise in preventing costly litigation and unpredictable outcomes when there are severe disagreements and impasses this, there have been objections to ADR in the past. Still, alternative dispute resolution has increased its comprehensive reception among the legal profession and business world, in recent times. In fact, numerous courts require applicable parties to remedy through resolution before consenting the parties' cases to be heard. In addition to the increased caseload of traditional courts, its growing popularity can be linked to the perception that ADR levies lower costs and
He explains that when a conflict arises, we are less capable to take on the situation and are more likely to hand it off to authorities. He then comes to the conclusion of how they are overlooked, in terms of importance, and that individuals own their conflicts as one would own property. Furthermore, he justifies that these properties are stolen by law, therefore, no longer owned by individuals. Christie urges the need to eliminate ‘professionals’ from the sphere of conflict resolution in order to prevent the theft of conflicts. He explains his perspective of “conflict as property” as not relating to material compensation but rather to the ownership of conflict itself. He then recognizes the effects of victim losing the “property” originally, and puts forth a fix for this process. He introduces a way to remodel the justice system for dealing with conflicts in which the court is victim
1. Arbitration is a matter of contract. That means the parties are not required to arbitrate a dispute they do not agree to submit to arbitration. The court will decide if there is a duty to arbitrate or not. 2.

Throughout the years there has been limitless legal cases presented to the court systems. All cases are not the same. Some cases vary from decisions that are made by a single judge, while other cases decisions are made by a jury. As cases are presented they typically start off as disputes, misunderstandings, or failure to comply among other things. It is possible to settle some cases outside of the courts, but that does require understanding and cooperation by all parties involved. However, for those that are not so willing to settle out of court, they eventually visit the court system. The court system is not in existence to cause humiliation for anyone, but more so to offer a helping hand from a legal prospective. At the same time, the legal system is not to be abuse. or misused either.
“Due to federalism, both the federal government and each of the state governments have their own court systems ("Comparing Federal & State Courts").” “State court systems vary from state to state, and each is a little different ("State Courts vs. Federal Courts", 2015). The American Court System consists of state courts and federal courts; they are two types of courts we have in our country. Although both courts have similar aspects, there is also many differences between the two courts.
Disputes between individuals can be dealt formally through government departments such as a court. A court case is a dispute between two parties that is decided in a court of law. The court can analyse a case and provide a solution and fair judgement between both parties. One example of a case that was evident in the courts was the case, Oyston v St Patrick's College [2011] NSWSC 269. This negligence case was placed forward to the court in resolving a dispute regarding a student, and their former high school. The courts can provide a resolution to the dispute when the plaintiff believes that they have been treated with misconduct.
In terms of civil law tradition countries, most judges have limited roles and court processes are driven by the legal code. Common law legal systems are rarer, and are adversarial; decisions tend to be based on precedent.
Sue contracts with Tom to deliver a quantity of computers to Sue’s Computer Store. They disagree over the amount, the delivery date, the price, and the quality. Sue files a suit against Tom in a state court. Their state requires that their dispute be submitted to mediation or nonbinding arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved, or if either party disagrees with the decision of the mediator or arbitrator, will a court hear the case? Explain. (See Alternative Dispute Resolution.)
There is a wide variety of different tribunals, which cover a vast amount of areas influencing our everyday lives. They are held in public, except in a case that would involve very personal evidence or national security.

WE can however, accommodate mechanisms which operate as additional or subsidiary processes in the discharge of sovereign responsibility. These enable the court system to devote its precious time and resources to the more solemn task of administering justice in the name of sovereign."

... with the aggrieved worker and representative meeting with the supervisor involved, followed by an appeal system with strict time limits and ultimately ending in binding arbitration. When management and the union cannot resolve a grievance submitted by a union, the union must decide whether to proceed to the final step of the grievance procedure: arbitration. Arbitration is an adversary proceeding like a trial in court. An arbitrator’s function is usually to interpret the collective bargaining agreement between the parties, not to apply his or her standards of what is right in a given situation. The courts have sought to compel labour and management to a peaceful resolution of grievances through arbitration. The Supreme Court has given support to the arbitration process in a series of decisions, and judicial deferral to arbitration has become a basic tenet of national labour policy.
Every nation has their own set of legal strategies they use to guide them in making important decisions. Each nation has its traditions and policies they follow. Through the world, there are two main types of legal systems that are used; most nations follow either common or civil law. Both the common law system and the civil law system share similarities in having courts, judges, and comparing cases to laws. While both systems share similarities, they also contain many differences, making them two very divergent legal systems.
