Private judging is an available kind of ADR. It is not common, in part because in the court system, the government pays the salary of the judge. The judge's services are free and available to all of us. In a situation where the parties to a dispute agree ( agreement by all parties is required to use a private judge just like any other ADR), the parties must pay for the services of the private judge and that is often hundreds of dollars per hour.

Private judging is often agreed by the parties when speed in resolution is desired and the parties do not want to wait for what is often years to obtain a courtroom and judge to conduct a trial .
