in as law if there is a question on alternative dispute resolution do i decribe negotiation mediation conciliation mini trials AND arbitration or just the first four?
It depends on the alternative dispute contract that was agreed on by the parties. It can be any of the above, but usually is arbitration. Often arbitration, in my experience, involves a lot of the first four, as well as meditation and handholding. Often the emotions on each side, as well as role playing are major issurs that have to be resolved before moving to substantive issues.
But to answer your question: It depends on the agreement by the parties to the contents of whatever the resolution stated. They are not all alike.
In law, there are various methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that can be used to resolve conflicts outside of the traditional court system. These methods include negotiation, mediation, conciliation, mini trials, and arbitration.
To answer your question about whether you should describe all five methods or just the first four, it generally depends on the context and the specific requirements of the question or assignment you're working on.
If the question asks you to describe ADR methods in general, then you should include all five methods: negotiation, mediation, conciliation, mini trials, and arbitration. This will provide a comprehensive overview of the various approaches to resolving disputes.
However, if the question specifically asks about alternative dispute resolution and limits the options to negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and mini trials, then you should focus on those four methods and exclude arbitration from your answer.
It's important to carefully read and understand the question or assignment prompt to ensure you accurately address what is being asked. Additionally, if you have any doubts or need clarification, don't hesitate to consult your instructor or refer to any guidelines provided.
