Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that is more likely to foster which goal(s) of the justice system?

  1. Punishment

  2. Disputant self-determination

  3. Establishing precedent for future disputes

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Disputant self-determination

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that allows disputing parties to have more control over the resolution process. By allowing the parties to actively participate and collaborate in finding a solution, mediation promotes the goal of disputant self-determination. Punishment, on the other hand, is generally not a goal of the justice system in alternative dispute resolution methods. Additionally, establishing precedent for future disputes is typically a goal of the court system, not alternative dispute resolution processes like mediation. Therefore, the correct answer is B Disputant self-determination.
