Arbitration

Start with questions and a map

Begin with the flashcard deck ADR: Arbitration. It asks what arbitration is and prompts you to consider its advantages and disadvantages. Use the questions to see what you can already explain, then return to them after studying a map.

The other flashcard deck also asks about principles and types of arbitration. It offers another set of prompts for organizing what you have studied.

Explore the listed mind maps

For a closer look at the process, open the arbitration flowchart. It lists litigation and arbitration alongside stages such as commencement, statements of case and enforcement of judgment. Follow the branches and use them to organize the stages shown in the map.

The map on ADR and arbitration refers to minimal court intervention and to procedural provisions. Another map lists challenges under the Arbitration Act and the right to correct an award. These resources offer places to look after you have worked through the introductory flashcards.

Compare advantages and disadvantages

A mind map on the advantages of arbitration lists points including confidentiality, flexibility, expertise and cost. A slide set on advantages also looks at choices made by the parties, including selection of an arbitrator or tribunal. A note addresses disadvantages.

Read these resources alongside the questions in ADR: Arbitration. Try answering each question in your own words, then check the relevant map or note for points you missed. You can use the maps and flashcards together even though this topic page has no quizzes.

Place the topic in its unit

Arbitration is one section of Dispute Resolution and ADR in Law (general and introduction). The resources on this page offer different ways to study that section: questions for recall, maps for connections, and slides and a note for particular points. Choose a resource and work through it at your own pace.
