Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has been mentioned in one podcast episode on The Proven Podcast (Aug 2025).

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR), or external dispute resolution (EDR), typically denotes a wide range of dispute resolution processes and techniques that parties can use to settle disputes with the help of a third party. They are used for disagreeing parties who cannot come to an agreement short of litigation. However, ADR is also increasingly being adopted as a tool to help settle disputes within the court system.
