Chapter three involves the stages of trial and alternate dispute resolution. I have been on a jury, so I know about jury selection and Instructions to the jury by the judge. We listened to the testimony and the closing arguments. Deposition is not a new word, however, now I understand the true meaning as an in person testimony. Being involved in my union, I understand alternate dispute resolution. Negotiation, arbitration, and mediation are important and common in union contracts. Arbitration is very costly and time consuming. It is a step to make sure both sides of a contract are holding up to their side of the contract. I can see why companies would want to settle out of court to save money in a law suit. Court appearances take up a lot of time and energy that could be used to do important company business
