This Committee shall focus on alternate means and methodology of resolving
conflicts and disputes, in addition to traditional litigation within
the judicial system. Non-judicial methods such as mediation, conciliation,
fact-finding, mini-trials, and arbitration are considered viable and
efficient alternate methods of dispute resolution. Its goals are to
sponsor educational programs for members of the bar and for the public,
to familiarize both of these groups with the available options; to
be a clearinghouse of ADR activities and study application of ADR
methods locally, and to act as a networking resource.
