Litigation Cost-Benefit Analysis and Enforceability of Arbitration Agreements

Part I

Write a 350-word minimum recommendation to Solar Co.’s CEO advising whether Solar Co. should:

• file a lawsuit and proceed to trial
• try to reach a settlement with XYZ Media, or
• use a method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR)

Your analysis should specifically discuss each of the nine factors provided in the “Contemporary Environment Cost-Benefit Analysis of a Lawsuit” feature found in Ch. 4, “Judicial, Alternative, and E-Dispute Resolution.” Provide a clear explanation and reasoning for your recommendation based on the facts of the scenario.

Would your recommendation be different if you were advising XYZ Media’s CEO? If so, how?

Part II

Write a 350-word minimum memo to Solar Co.’s CEO explaining the arbitration procedure and the enforceability of arbitration provisions under the Federal Arbitration Act.

Include a recommendation as to whether arbitration agreements should be used in the future to reduce Solar Co.’s legal risk and why.
