In the layman's mind, our civil justice system takes too long and costs too much. ADR systems (Arbitration, Mediation and 'Private Judging') were designed to address these concerns [easing judicial bottlenecks, expeditiously resolving disputes, and making justice affordable]. Arbitration and Mediation are well established - 'Private Judging' remains an under-utilized ADR alternative. Private judging is a unique ADR process that provides the benefits of resolution by arbitration - yet unlike arbitration, preserves appellate review. This book explores the statute Ohio adopted in 1984 that permits 'Private Judging' - a unique ADR alternative.
