Center for Dispute Settlement
The Center for Dispute Settlement (CFDS) is an organization that helps resolve disagreements between parties outside of court. It offers neutral services like mediation and arbitration, where a trained third party assists in reaching a fair agreement or makes a decision that everyone agrees to follow. CFDS aims to resolve disputes efficiently, privately, and cost-effectively, offering an alternative to lengthy and costly litigation. Its goal is to facilitate amicable resolutions for issues in areas such as business, community, or workplace conflicts.
