Dispute Resolution (DR), also known as alternative dispute resolution (ADR), refers to a series of processes that provide disputing parties different avenues for settlement than the traditional legal process (litigation). They include: mediation, arbitration, facilitation and collaborative law. These processes provide many benefits and can be used to resolve virtually any type of dispute whether in a private or public.
