What is the process of a private judging system?

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) law in Utah is an alternative method to settle disputes between parties without going to court. Private judging is a specific type of ADR that is used in Utah. Private judging is a process that is typically agreed to by both parties in a dispute. The parties will hire a neutral third party, known as the private judge, who is experienced in the area of dispute and who is able to make a decision on the outcome of the dispute. This is done by the private judge either listening to both sides of the dispute or reviewing evidence provided by the parties. In order for private judging to take place, both parties must agree to it and they may also have to pay a fee. Once the private judge is present, each side will present their side of the argument and then the judge will review both sides, ask questions to gain more detail, and then make a decision as to the outcome of the dispute. In some cases, the private judge will also provide advice to the parties in order to help them. Once the private judge makes a decision, either side can appeal to the court if they are not satisfied with the decision. However, if both parties agree to the decision, then it can be enforced by the court as if it were a court judgment. The benefit of private judging is that it is often quicker and less formal than a court case, and it can be less expensive also. It also allows for the parties to maintain control over the outcome of their dispute instead of relying on the court system.
