Ask yourself these questions:

What is the problem/conflict you are trying to resolve?

Consider:

• If the problem is internal dysfunction between departments in an organization, or individuals in departments, think of doing fact-finding and then implementing a systems design to handle dispute resolution.

Are you thinking of filing a lawsuit, or already embroiled in litigation?
Consider:

• Is your case appropriate for mediation?

• Is the other side unwilling to mediate?

• Do you know everything you need to know to be ready for mediation?

• Have you explained to your client his/her role in the mediation?

• What kind of a mediator do you want?

 

Are you entering into a contract and considering an arbitration clause?

Consider

• Do you want a panel or a single arbitrator to decide the issue?

• What issues do you wish decided in arbitration?

• What rules of arbitration to you wish to follow?

• Do you want to put a limit on discovery?

• Do you wish to have the arbitration conclude within a certain timeframe?
