Alternative Dispute Resolution
Many firms find that using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods to resolve their legal problems offers many benefits. The term ADR refers to the resolution of legal disputes through methods other than litigation, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, summary jury trials, minitrials, neutral case evaluations, and private trials.
alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
The resolution of legal problems through methods other than litigation.
Why might a business prefer ADR to litigation? First, ADR methods are generally faster and cheaper. According to the National Arbitration Forum, the average time from filing a complaint to judgment through litigation is 25 months.9 Because ADR is faster, it is usually cheaper. According to the American Intellectual Property Law Association, for cases valued in the $1 million to $25 million range, the average total cost of patent litigation for each party through the close of discovery is $1.9 million.10 Through the end of trial, the average cost to each party is $3.5 million. Thus, if a party can resolve a dispute through alternative dispute resolution, this can save a significant amount of money.
Second, a business may want to avoid the uncertainty associated with a jury decision; many forms of ADR give the participants more control over the resolution of the dispute. Specifically, the parties can select a neutral third party, frequently a person with expertise in the area of the dispute, to help facilitate resolution of the case. Third, a business may want to avoid setting a precedent through a court decision. Fourth, a business may prefer ADR because it is confidential. Fifth, because many forms of ADR are less adversarial than litigation, ADR allows the parties to preserve a business relationship.
Courts also generally support the use of ADR, which alleviates some of the pressure on the overwhelming court dockets. Congress has recognized the benefits of ADR methods through its enactment of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 1998. This act requires federal district courts to have an ADR program along with a set of rules regarding the program. Additional evidence of congressional support for ADR comes from the passage of the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act, which mandates that federal agencies must create internal ADR programs.

Negotiation
Many business managers make frequent use of negotiation, a bargaining process in which disputing parties interact informally, either with or without lawyers, to attempt to resolve their dispute. No neutral third party is involved. Thus, negotiation differs from other methods of dispute page 51resolution because the parties maintain high levels of autonomy. Some courts require parties to negotiate before they bring their dispute to trial.

In response to rising court costs, delays and congestion, the need to facilitate access to justice and to provide more 'effective' forms of dispute resolution, the phenomenon known as ADR was born.
This presentation provides an overview of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and different ADR mechanisms used all over the world.
Arbitration and mediation are different forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes. Disputing parties can use both processes to resolve disputes without going through the usual time and money-consuming court processes in seeking relief through damages or other means. These processes are used to resolve issues that border on civil matters, such as commercial disputes and contractual breaches. Mediators and arbitrators cannot handle criminal matters as it falls exclusively under what only the court can handle. They are similar in that they resolve disputes outside court proceedings, but both have their peculiarities.
