Alternative Dispute ResolutionThe term Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is used to describe a number of problem-solving methods or techniques. ADR can be initiated by parties to resolve disputes without relying on traditional court processes or initiated by the court to settle disputes prior to trial. There is a continuum of types of ADR from private and non-adversarial to public and adversarial. They are listed in order of decreasing privacy for the participants and increasing adversarial roles.
