  "definition": "A form of alternative dispute resolution where lawyers for each party present a summarized version of their case to senior executives of the opposing parties.

Unlike a formal trial, the outcome of a minitrial is non-binding unless the parties subsequently agree to a settlement based on the proceedings.",
