Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) refers to any method of resolving disputes other than in court. Early neutral evaluation, negotiation, conciliation, mediation, and arbitration are all common forms of ADR. As long court lines, rising litigation costs, and time delays continue to plague litigants, more states are experimenting with ADR programs. Some of these programs are optional, while others are required.

• Negotiation
  Negotiation is the most effective method of resolving disputes. While arbitration and mediation are the two most well-known forms of ADR, negotiation is almost always used first to resolve a dispute. Negotiation allows parties to meet in order to resolve a disagreement. The main advantage of this method of dispute resolution is that it allows the parties to control both the process and the solution. Negotiation is less formal than other types of ADR and offers more flexibility.
• Mediation
  Mediation is a non-binding alternative to litigation. Mediators are trained negotiators who bring opposing parties together and attempt to reach an agreement or settlement that both parties accept or reject. Mediation is not legally binding. Mediation is used in a variety of cases, from juvenile felonies to federal government negotiations with Native American Indian tribes. Mediation has also grown in popularity as a means of resolving disputes between investors and their stock brokers. See also Dispute Resolution in Securities.
• Arbitration is one of the most well-known and rapidly expanding forms of ADR. Arbitration is more formal than mediation and shares many similarities with traditional court proceedings, such as limited discovery and simplified evidence rules (ex. hearsay is usually admissible in arbitration).

There are various types of arbitration:

• National arbitration: which are all governed by different rules enacted by each country’s institutions
• International commercial arbitration is typically used to resolve disputes arising from commercial contractual relationships between buyers and sellers in different states.
• Investor-State arbitration: the unilateral referral of a private individual investor to an arbitral tribunal against a host State of their investment by the investor.
