摘要：	Approximately 40 million lawsuits are filed in state and federal courts every year. With the big backlogs in the courts, it can take from many months to several years for a case to go to trial. The process is not only long and arduous, but it can also be expensive. While our Constitution guarantees every litigant his "day in court," that's not always in your best interest. So, if you find yourself embroiled in litigation and you don't have the time or money to see it through the trial process (and possible appeals thereafter), there are options. Often referred to as "alternative dispute resolution," pre-trial settlement conferences within the court system, mediation conducted in the private sector, and binding arbitration are some of the available alternatives. In fact, research shows that less than 10% of lawsuits ever reach a judge or jury for a final adjudication. Most cases end up settling out of court, and for good reason.
