• Dhvani began working for an advertising agency 3 months ago. She had excellent performance reviews and generally liked her job... except for one thing. Her co-worker, a woman named Linda who had been at the agency for 10 years, often yelled at Dhvani and said things like, "Oh my goodness you are stupid". Dhvani had recently had enough of Linda's bullying and reported the abusive behaviour to human resources. A week later Dhvani was let go with very little explanation as to why. Dhvani decided to sue her employer as she felt they should have addressed the harassment in the workplace and that her dismissal was unjust.
• After talking to a lawyer, Dhvani decided to go forward with her claim. That night, Dhvani's husband expressed some concern about the costs of litigation. Dhvani replied "Lawyer Larry said there might be a chance to resolve this outside of the court system. He called it 'alternate somethingorother'."
• What's Lawyer Larry talking about? Describe two types of 'alternate somethingorother' and the associated benefits of this option.
