Mediation can help clean up environmental disputes
In addition to being faster than waiting for a result at trial -- and the inevitable appeal -- mediation offers a host of advantages over trying environmental disputes in court.
Few cases are
dirtier, more complicated and potentially more toxic than those involving the
environment. Environmental cases are difficult to litigate and even tougher to
try. They often involve multiple parties with very different interests and
outlooks, can trigger emotional responses and may turn on complex scientific
evidence that jurors and judges are unlikely to find interesting -- or even
understandable.
