That's a fancy legal phrase for a way to end a case without going to trial. In NH, some form of ADR is required for all cases in suit. The court wants to encourage parties to settle their disputes. This alleviates a burden and expense on the court. Jury trials are...
I wish I could take credit for this great quote. These are the words of one of the world's greatest spiritual writers - Thomas Merton. Of course, I immediately applied them to injury law and dealing with insurance companies. Unless the insurance company knows you are...
