Describe in brief the concepts of electronic dispute resolution, electronic arbitration, and electronic mediation

What will be an ideal response?

Electronic technologies have made it possible to settle disputes online. This is referred to as electronic dispute resolution, or e-dispute resolution. Many ADR providers offer electronic arbitration, or e-arbitration services. Most of these services allow a party to a legal dispute to register the dispute with the service and then notify the other party by e-mail of the registration of the dispute. Most online arbitration, called electronic arbitration or e-arbitration, requires the registering party to submit an amount that the party is willing to accept or pay to the other party in the online arbitration. The other party is afforded the opportunity to accept the offer. If that party accepts the offer, a settlement has been reached; however, the other party may return a counteroffer. The process continues until a settlement is reached or one or both parties remove themselves from the online ADR process. Several websites offer online mediation, called electronic mediation or e-mediation. In an online mediation, the parties sit before their computers and sign on to the website. A chat room is assigned to each party and the mediator, and another is set aside for both parties and the mediator. The individual chat rooms are used for private conversations with the online mediator, and the other chat room is for conversations between both parties and the mediator.
