I agree. Americans spend too much money litigating disputes in court when we could be focusing on less antagonistic and more productive ways to resolve differences.
As we take time this week to celebrate Thanksgiving, we can certainly be thankful for the presence of a civil justice system that provides us with a way to peacefully resolve disputes. However, we should also remember that alternatives to litigation like mediation have a very high success rate, cost much less, and often leave parties feeling better afterward.
It’s time to advocate for a new spirit of cooperation — even in settling disputes. If it worked for the Pilgrims and Squanto, it can work for us, too.
