Arbitration
Lisa J Savitt provides arbitration services. Arbitration is a process in which each party in a dispute and their attorney present their position before a neutral third party, who makes a decision. If the parties agree in advance, the award is binding and is enforceable in the same manner as any contractual obligation. If the parties do not stipulate that the award is binding, the award is advisory and a request for trial de novo (trial in MN District Court) may be made by any party.
Mediation
Lisa J Savitt and Sara P Sandford both provide mediation services. Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party facilitates communication between parties to promote settlement. A mediator may not impose his or her own judgment on the issues for that of the parties.
