In Texas, we have a statute that provides certain requirements for court-referred ADR: see Chapter 154 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.
MEDIATION​
Mediation is a process of communication in which person with a dispute, assisted by a mediator, reach an agreement, understanding, or reconciliation. Mediators are facilitators; they are there to assist disputants who make their own decisions about the resolution of their conflict. Mediators are neutral parties and impartial to the disputants and the outcome. As such, mediators are ethically bound not to impose an outcome or decision on either side.
arbitration
Arbitration is generally less formal than a court proceeding, though
the parties may present evidence, or call and question witnesses.
Unlike a mediator, the arbitrator renders a decision or award once
the case is presented. Arbitration can be voluntary or mandatory
and can be either binding or non-binding. The arbitrator is a
decision-maker; the mediator is not.
