Arbitration is the cost effective method of resolving/adjudicating disputes (especially commercial disputes) where you choose (with the consent of your adversary): (a) the judge (arbitrator) who will decide the dispute; (b) the procedure (including discovery, if any) to be followed in resolving the dispute; (c) the costs to be incurred (e.g. live or written testimony); (d) the time within which the dispute is to be finally resolved; and (e) the involvement, if any, of the public court system (e.g. appeal or no appeal).

Hence, experienced, cost conscious litigators and general counsel are turning ever more frequently to the process which they themselves control and create: ARBITRATION.
