Because most cases never make it to trial, it is also important to consider alternative methods of dispute resolution. Suppose your selected case was initially submitted to ADR. What methods of ADR would be available to pursue? Which of these ADR methods do you think would be the most appropriate? Why? Required elements:
· Discuss the differences in costs and benefits of going through traditional litigation and pursuing ADR in this case (Consider for example, why one of the parties in the case you're looking at may have preferred keeping the case out of court).
· No more than 700 words.
· Format is consistent with APA guidelines.
NOTE: The purpose of a white paper is to advocate that a certain position is the best way to go or that a certain solution is best for a particular problem. In order to persuade your audience, you need to focus on their needs. If you can address the problems that your readers want to solve, they will read your white paper for a solution. You should write your paper using APA guidelines but the topic should begin in memo format.
