Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms are a substitute to the formal procedures used by judicial courts. Over the years, ADR has developed in a variety of directions and has come to encompass a range of procedures other than court litigation, including negotiation, mediation, conciliation, expert determination, and arbitration. These types of procedure are becoming increasingly popular in various legal systems around the world, even expanding into areas such as intellectual property (IP) and new technologies. While ADR comes in many variations, the most widely used ADR mechanisms are arbitration, mediation, and expert determination.
