Resolve Cases Faster with the CBA Mediation Service The CBA has launched a Mediation Ser- vice staffed by experienced, trained CBA member mediators to offer a less expensive dispute resolution system and provide the opportunity to help settle cases in a timely manner. As we all know, the civil justice system can already be too slow, too costly, and too uncertain for many looking to resolve their cases. The mediation offering from the CBA can help clients who are seeking alternative dispute resolutions that are affordable and effective.
