Frequently Asked Questions About Alternative Dispute Resolution
What’s the difference between mediation, facilitation, and arbitration?
ADR is collaborative — the parties work together with a neutral professional in order to reach a resolution. Arbitration is like an abbreviated trial - the Arbitrator (s) often makes a binding decision after hearing arguments from all sides and considering the evidence.
Is ADR confidential?
Yes. ADR is a private process. What’s discussed during the hearings, is not part of the public record.
Who can initiate Alternative Dispute Resolution Services?
Attorneys, individuals, or organizations can request services.
Can ADR help resolve personal injury claims?
Absolutely. ADR often helps injury victims and insurance companies reach a settlement without the delay and cost of trial.
Do I need a lawyer to participate?
While not required, many parties bring legal counsel to ensure their rights are protected — especially in arbitration.
