Efficient, effective and ethical resolution of disputes is central to civil society. However, resolution processes are subject to significant practical and policy issues. The revised and updated second edition of Resolving Civil Disputes identifies and explores these challenges. Structured to address the roles that litigation and various other forms of dispute resolution play in resolving civil disputes in the modern era, this book fosters an understanding of how to evaluate and select the most appropriate resolution technique for a civil dispute, through processes such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. The book explains the distinctive and vital role of litigation, while questioning whether a broader view of justice may be taken and how the courts and alternative dispute resolution may interact. The mechanics of litigation and mediation are examined through insights into the key steps of each process.
