During their divorce proceedings, John and Jane Smith hired someone (not a judge) to make decisions related to their divorce. This type of civil procedure is known as: A. arbitration B. small-claims court C. mediation D. agreement Please select the best answer from the choices provided

The Answer is A

Explanation:

A mediator is someone you hire to advise the situation. However, this person does not have any power within the court proceedings and is only there to give their professional opinion. An arbitrator however, is someone who has power over the proceedings because both parties have agreed to it.  Because the question states that the person is hired to make decisions on the matter, this indicates they have authority to make said decisions which must mean that this person is a hired arbitrator.  

Hope this helps, friend!
