Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fastest-growing method of conflict resolution among contracting parties is the use of an outside arbitrator. Rent-a-judge refers to a retired judge who is hired by parties to handle the dispute, mediation involves a neutral third party who helps parties reach a settlement, minitrial is a form of litigation where the parties present their cases in a mock trial setting to reach a settlement, and litigation involves a formal legal process in a court of law. None of these methods are specifically identified as the fastest-growing method in the given context. Therefore, the best choice is option E, outside arbitrator.
