ADR GlossaryUnderstanding Alternative Dispute Resolution
How It Works
Rapid Ruling is an online dispute resolution platform. We offer parties the ability to resolve a dispute in weeks instead of months or years with traditional state courts and are 100% online. We resolve your dispute by having a professional Arbitrator hear both parties, review their evidence, and render a decision.
- Submit Your Case
Gather your documents, photos, videos, and other evidence. Upload the files to our secure server, describe your claim, and identify the responding party.
- Online Arbitration Hearing
The hearing will either be a live phone call or a video hearing. Your Arbitrator will first ask both sides to tell their story. Then the Arbitrator will ask detailed questions to both parties based on the statements and evidence.
- Decision
Your Arbitrator will issue a decision within weeks of filing a claim, not years. This decision is legally binding and enforceable.
