What is ADR?

ADR is a group of methods used to help resolve a dispute by using private qualified neutrals.

What are some of the different ADR Methods?

  • Arbitration: A third-party neutral (arbitrator or panel of arbitrators) hears evidence and arguments and submits a binding decision to the parties. 
  • Mediation:  A third-party neutral (mediator) is assigned to help the parties settle a disputed matter.
  • Mini-Trial:  A third-party neutral (an advisor specialized in the subject matter) hears counsel for the parties argue the case and offers an analysis.
