The Nevada Notice of Early Arbitration Conference (NEAR) is a formal document issued to parties involved in a dispute that provides notice of an upcoming arbitration conference. It is used to facilitate negotiations and the resolution of disputes in an expeditious and less expensive manner than through litigation. The NEAR is typically issued by a neutral third party, such as an arbitration organization or a mediator. There are two types of Nevada Notice of Early Arbitration Conference: 1. Voluntary Notice of Early Arbitration Conference: This type of NEAR is issued by the parties to the dispute, usually with the aid of a neutral third party. This is the most common type of NEAR and is used to encourage the parties to reach a settlement without having to go to court. 2. Mandatory Notice of Early Arbitration Conference: This type of NEAR is issued by a court or other judicial body. It is used when the dispute is complex or contentious and the parties are not able to reach a settlement on their own. This type of NEAR is used to force the parties to engage in arbitration and resolve their dispute without going to court.
