Arbitration is a process in which disputes are submitted to experienced and knowledgeable neutral attorneys or retired Superior Court Judges to hear arguments, review evidence and render a decision. It is less formal, less complex and often can be concluded more quickly than court proceedings.

Arbitration is mandatory for certain civil cases regardless of value. These include:

automobile negligence;
personal injury;
suits against a party’s insurance carrier for unpaid bills arising from a vehicular accident; and
certain commercial cases.
