It seemed that everyone jumped on the bandwagon and began changing their legal business form into a LLC. The sentiment was that it was the best for everyone. It that true?

2. One of the readings discusses mediation being a low cost alternative dispute resolution. Some states, including Utah have mandatory mediation laws for certain types of cases. One reason for this is that it is often successful. In fact there are many benefits of using alternative dispute resolution techniques.

Do alternate dispute resolution techniques take away the advantages of the legal system? Why or why not? Thoughts?
