Main Elements
ADR Defined
ADR is a term used to describe several different methods of resolving legal disputes without going to court. The rising cost of litigation is making traditional lawsuits impractical for many individuals and businesses.
Binding and Non-binding Arbitration
Arbitration is much like a trial, in that the parties can call witnesses, present evidence, and argue the merits of their case to a neutral decision maker. In many jurisdictions, civil litigants whose claims do not exceed a certain dollar amount may be ordered to attend arbitration by the court, in an effort to keep the court’s docket clear for more substantial lawsuits.
Using Mediation to Reach a Settlement
Mediation is a much different type of ADR proceeding. Unlike arbitration, it does not involve an adversarial hearing, and there is no decision-making official present.
Collaborative Divorce and Specialist Evaluations
Divorce cases have the potential to turn into bitterly contested ordeals. A collaborative approach to divorce aims to remove the “win-lose” mentality so common in these cases.
Attorney Representation in ADR Cases
If the people affected or interested are looking to cut short the litigation process, ADR may be the answer. But regardless of the type of ADR proceeding the people affected or interested are contemplating, the people affected or interested need independent legal advice to protect their interests.
