Under the Law, Arbitration is similar to having a private trial. Essentially, instead of going to Court, you agree to the person who will be the neutral Arbiter or person who will make the decision. Thus instead of the Judge making the decision in court, the Arbiter you selected makes the decision. Also, where the Court might limit you to only a two(2) or four(4) hour hearing, since you decide the process, you can decide how much time you want to spend presenting your information.
Further, You can decide how you want the process to look. You can decide to have everyone meet on a Weekend day and present affidavits, letters, videos, statements or sworn testimony. Or You can decide to have a more formal process resembling a hearing and present evidence and testimony just as you would in court. Arbitration awards are final and rarely disturbed by the Court system.
