Arbitration vs. Court Litigation

Parties often seek to enforce contracts and resolve disputes through arbitration because of a number of perceived potential advantages over litigation: What is Arbitration? What are the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration v. court litigation?
You will be expected to answer these questions by first explaining, in no more than 500 words what arbitration is and how it is different from litigation. In the second part of this assignment, which will have a maximum of 1000 words, you will need to argue EITHER that litigation has more advantages than litigation OR that arbitration has more advantages than litigation. This task will therefore take the form of an ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY.

You can choose to study local or international arbitration.
