Florida courts have been utilizing alternative dispute resolution to settle disputes for the last twenty-five years. Starting in Dade County, alternative dispute resolution in Florida is now all but a preferred option since it keeps the courthouse free from a large burdensome amount of cases. The Florida legislature has even gone as far as to create an extremely comprehensive mediation program.
In mediation and alternative dispute resolution, the parties remain in control of the decisions that are made when all is said and done. This is a big advantage sometimes over the harshness that a prolonged litigation can have. Each case should be looked at, individually, before deciding whether dispute resolution or trial is the right way to go.
