JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services)

JAMS, or Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, is a private organization that helps resolve legal disputes outside of court through arbitration and mediation. Arbitration involves a neutral third party, called an arbitrator, who reviews the case and makes a binding decision. Mediation involves a mediator facilitating discussions between the parties to help them reach a voluntary agreement. JAMS provides these services for various disputes, including business, employment, and personal conflicts, offering a confidential, efficient alternative to lengthy court processes. It aims to provide fair, expert, and timely resolution to legal disagreements.
