Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) includes various methods such as mediation, where a neutral mediator helps disputing parties communicate and reach a settlement. Mediation is informal and can occur at any time during or after court proceedings, with certain civil and marriage cases being suitable, while others like election petitions are not. Mediators do not take sides, provide legal advice, or make decisions, focusing instead on facilitating discussions and understanding between parties.
