Mediation, Court-Based
| | Conciliation | | Conciliation involves efforts by a third party to improve the relationship between two or more disputants. It may be done as a part of mediation, or independently. Generally, the third party will work with the disputants to correct misunderstandings, reduce fear and distrust, and generally improve communication between the parties in conflict. Sometimes, this alone will result in dispute settlement; at other times, it paves the way for a later mediation process.

| | Summary Jury Trial | | A summary jury trial is an alternative court process that involves both parties of a dispute presenting a brief version of their case before a jury and judge. At the end of this process the jury issues a non-binding verdict. This process is used to encourage out-of-court negotiations by presenting the parties with an independent forecast of the likely results of a conventional trial.
