• D. Online dispute resolution

Answer: (C)

Summary jury trial is the process described by “abbreviated testimony and/or evidence.” It’s a civil case presented in a shortened form, with witnesses providing trimmed-down testimony and a limited set of evidence to give parties a realistic preview of how a jury might view the case. The verdict is usually non-binding and used to drive settlement negotiations. Mediation involves a neutral facilitator helping the parties reach an agreement without a trial. A full court trial uses the complete procedures and evidence of a standard trial. Online dispute resolution encompasses digital processes for negotiation or arbitration, not a shortened, trial-like presentation of testimony.
