Many disputes can be resolved without litigation through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes. Instead of going to court and risking great expense, broken relationships and lost time, disputing parties can try other processes, such as mediation, facilitation, and arbitration to resolve their dispute.

The Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution The Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution is dedicated to making ADR processes broadly available to Hawai`i citizens and agencies of state and local government. The Center provides neutral ADR processes that offer opportunities for early, party-driven, efficient, and fair conflict resolution.
