The following information is about Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Alternative Dispute Resolution Defined
Also known as "ADR"; methods by which legal conflicts and disputes are resolved privately and other than through litigation in the public courts, usually through one of two forms: mediation or arbitration. It typically involves a process much less formal than the traditional court process and includes the appointment of a third-party to preside over a hearing between the parties. The advantages of ADR are speed and money: it costs less and is quicker than court litigation. ADR forums are also private. The disadvantage is that it often involves compromise.
This definition is in context to Canadian Law. See more contextual defintions for Alternative Dispute Resolution.
