Community Arbitration

Community arbitration is a voluntary dispute resolution method where local community members or trained mediators help resolve conflicts outside of courts. It encourages open dialogue and mutual understanding, allowing parties to reach amicable agreements efficiently. This process fosters community cohesion, reduces court burdens, and provides a confidential, less formal alternative to litigation. Typically used for neighborhood disputes, family disagreements, or minor disputes, community arbitration emphasizes cooperative problem-solving and can lead to practical, mutually acceptable solutions without legal intervention.
