Abstract
Alternative dispute resolution
encompasses arbitration, mediation, conciliation, and other
methods-short of formal litigation-for resolving disputes.
Alternative dispute resolution offers several advantages
over a lawsuit. It is less adversarial and in some cases can
be faster and less expensive. It can also reduce court
workloads. For these reasons its use is being promoted by
court reformers in many developing and transition economies.
