Dispute Resolution Procedures
WHICH ADR PROCESSES DOES THE COURT OFFER?
ADR processes the court offers include:
- Arbitration (non-binding)
- Mediation
- Settlement Conferences (conducted by judges)
Each of these processes is described separately in the next few pages. In reviewing these processes, keep your case in mind as you consider which one might be best suited for your situation.
The court also makes available other dispute resolution processes and encourages parties to consider retaining the services of the community mediation centers or private sector ADR providers.
