For many years, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has been used to describe arbitration, conciliation, and mediation as alternatives to litigation. People are smartly moving away from protracted litigation and accepting ADR as a primary mode of dispute resolution
Litigation is a time-consuming and costly affair. Pursuing a case in court may result in loss of time, effort, and money, whereas resolving a dispute by ADR can be quicker and cheaper.
Another reason why ADR gained popularity is perhaps the dissatisfaction created by the litigation process. There will always be certain disputes that can only be resolved through it. Barring such disputes, all other disputes that one can resolve without burdening the court system can be resolved through ADR.
Benefits of ADR
Over the last decade, ADR has gained traction in New Jersey. Lawyers and judges have offered ADR as a preferred mode of dispute resolution rather than a mere substitute or alternative to the formal judicial system.
The ADR process is party friendly, time-bound, and confidential. ADR permits the parties to attain a final and binding decision in a shorter timeline as against long-drawn battles before judges. Using ADR as a primary mode of dispute resolution, as opposed to a mere alternative, is now the need of the hour. This will also result in decongesting the court system and bring about much-needed relief to the judiciary, which is overburdened.
