Online Dispute Resolution or ODR Being Hailed as the Future of Justice

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Nov. 30, 2018 - PRLog -- Ever since the concept of online dispute resolution (ODR) first came about in the mid-1990s, the impact has dramatically shifted the momentum in resolving conflict outside the courtroom. ODR is a means to settle matters in an online environment in a swift, cost effective and comfortable matter without having to be in the same room with the other party. ODR can both compete with and complement traditional in-court proceedings and state-run judicial systems.

One Florida family law mediator has been using ODR for several years now with great success. Hear his comments in the video below:

As Matthew Brickman of iMediate Inc. explains, through the brand iChatMediation.com he utilizes online dispute resolution to bring the parties in any mediation, arbitration, and negotiation into a virtual environment via iChat using a customized Cisco's WebEx communication platform proprietary to the company.

The advantages are clear:
1. Cost – ODR is often less expensive than traditional litigation/legal process.
2. Efficiency – ODR can resolve a dispute much faster than waiting for court dates.
3. Participation and Control – The parties using Online Dispute Resolution have more control of the outcome of the dispute than they would in court.
4. Flexibility – The parties using Online Dispute Resolution can work together for a more flexible outcome.
5. Location and Logistics – Since the environment is virtual, Online Dispute Resolution allows parties to settle their dispute from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
