Abstract
Dispute resolution means efforts directed toward resolving disputes between people, groups, organizations, agencies, or nations. Typically, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is conflict resolution through mediation, arbitration, and negotiation. ADR, in other words, is an alternative to traditional court adjudication. Instead of taking disputes to court or taking things in one’s own hands, disputing parties work with a mediator or arbiter to resolve their dispute.
