Best Answer

In most cases: you can turn to Alternative Dispute Resolation (ADR). The methods are

1. Arbitration: an impartial third party to hear and decide the dispute

2. Mediation: an impartial third party to act as the mediator of the dispute keeping the parties separate and trying to reach a settlement agreement.

3. Conciliation: Works the same as a Mediation

4. Mini trial: In this method both parties have a lawyer who will present the case for them and whom also have the authority to settle the dispute plus a third party who is neutral ( Retired Judge) following the presentation the parties meet to try to negotiate a settlement.

5. Fact-finding: This is a prosess whereby the parties hire a neutral person to investigate the dispute. The fact-finder reports his or her findings to the adversaries and may recommend a basis for settlement

6. Judicial Referee: This prosess is where the court may appoint a Judicial Referee to conduct a private trial and render a judgment.

What type of civil cases could a mediator be used to prevent the case from going to court?

There is no such case. Every individual has the right to appear before court. The mediator's job is to communicate with each party in hopes of settling the case. About 90% of cases settle; however, if you do not wish to settle, then you have a right to proceed to a court decision. Added: Mediators can be used in nearly all types of civil disputes. Mediation is normally voluntary, but often a judge will require that the parties attend mediation and make a good faith attempt to reach a settlement before setting the case for trial. Of course, the parties cannot be required to settle, but they can be required to attend.
