Critique of third-party decision-making in ADR processes

Article Abstract:

ADR should not be a process that merely exchanges a public form of third-party decision-making for a private form. ADR has provided solutions to inefficiencies in the legal system, but should not develop into a private system of justice at the expense of legal rights. Positive and negative features of public and private processes should be weighed carefully, and a distinction should be made between forums that deal with legal rights and contract rights.
