Summoning our resolve; alternative dispute resolution aims for settlement without litigation

Article Abstract:

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR), which has long been in existence, has received renewed emphasis in recent years.

Conciliatory procedures could have the additional advantage of helping promote a more positive image of lawyers.
