Abstract: A method and system of performing an alternate dispute resolution procedure by: providing an alternate dispute entity that is a scheduling service, facilitator and provider of mediation and/or arbitration services. An inviter asks the entity to initiate a mediation or arbitration procedure with an opposing party who has not been informed by the inviter of his/her decision to mediate or arbitrate. The entity extends an invitation to mediate or arbitrator to the opposing party. If the invitee accepts the invitation, the entity selects a mediator from a pool of mediators; and conducts the mediation via webcam on the entities website or at a location selected by said inviter and invitee.
