Arbitration Overview

Colorado Mediators & Arbitrators administers all arbitration cases filed with United States Arbitration Association | USADR  in the state of Colorado.

Arbitration is a form of dispute resolution dating back to the ancient Greeks.  Aristotle wrote extensively about the concepts of justice, equity, and the law, specifically addressing arbitration’s ability to provide equity and fairness that the law may not always provide. 

In the last 30 years, arbitration in the United States has greatly increased in terms of cost and formality, sometimes reflecting the worst excesses of litigation: massive discovery, excessive production of documents, etc.  The effect is that many of the original benefits that arbitration was designed to address have been eroded.

United States Arbitration Association offers a less litigious form of arbitration that is affordable, with written rules and procedures that are understandable in laymen’s terms.  USADR is an accessible means of resolving disputes by embracing and promoting the traditional values of arbitration: affordability, expediency, and equity.
