Dispute Resolution Dispute Resolution

This is an excerpt from the paper...

Although business and law are consistent features of everyday life in the United States, the presence of the lawsuit and adjacent litigation has caused many of us to consider that there are really only two classes of citizens. The first class of citizen is the litigant. The second class of citizen is the potential litigant.

Of course this is a tongue-in-check comment, but it sometimes seems that newspapers and television spend a tremendous amount of time concentrating on the status of suits, legal wrangling, and the subsequent fallout from their outcome.

The pair previously had been in partnership in the law firm King & Gautschi (Sather, 1997). Mr. Gautschi says he was inspired to form his new firm, in part, by the findings of a government commission, the Commission on the Future of Worker-Management Relations. The commission looked at the high number of workplace disputes that resulted in costly litigation.
