Overview: In the past quarter century, significant changes have occurred in the ways lawyers approach conflict. There have been unprecedented efforts to develop strategies aimed at more efficient, less costly and more satisfying resolution of conflict, including more extensive and appropriate use of mediation and other "Alternative Dispute Resolution" (ADR) approaches. This paper examines what one knows and don't know about the growth and impact of ADR in federal and state courts, in the business sector, and in employment and consumer settings. The analysis examines the relationship between ADR and court trial, but also underlines the broader uses of and rationale for mediation and other process choices.
