HYPOTHETICAL:

Lavender and Honey have an ongoing dispute regarding ownership of a dog, Max. One day, Honey removed Max's tags in order to give him a bath. Knowing what was coming, Max made a run for it and ended up at Lavender's home down the street. When Honey saw Lavender walking Max, she demanded his return. Lavender refused. A lawyer in the neighborhood suggested either a neutral case evaluation or mediation in an attempt to resolve the feud.

QUESTIONS:

1. Describe mediation and neutral case evaluation.

2. Which one of these two methods would you suggest for Lavender and Honey and why?
