What is the difference between an arbitration and mediation?
Arbitration and mediation are alternative methods of dispute resolution that usually do not involve going through a court process. Arbitration is a dispute resolution process in which the disputing parties present their case to an independent arbitrator (or a panel of arbitrators) who examines the evidence presented and then makes a decision for the parties. This decision is usually binding and often cannot be appealed. Mediation aims to assist two (or more) disputants in reaching an agreement without the content of the decision or the decision itself being imposed by a third party.

The CV® is a good first rating for lawyers and a definitive statement of their above-average ability and unquestionable ethics. This is the maximum rating a lawyer can receive who has been admitted to the bar for 3 to 4 years. The BV® is an excellent rating for a lawyer with more experience.
