Does the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes provide procedural flexibility of a conventional trial? Explain.

There is a growing awareness that courts will not be in a position to bear the entire burden of justice system. A very large number of disputes lend themselves to resolution by alternative modes such as arbitration, mediation, conciliation, negotiation, etc. The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes provide procedural flexibility save valuable time and money and avoid the stress of a conventional trial. There is, therefore, an urgent need to establish and promote ADR services for resolution of both domestic and international disputes in India. The ADR is flexible and not governed by the rigours of rules of procedures. The ADR can be used with or without a lawyer. ADR helps in the reduction of the work load of the Courts and thereby helps them to focus attention on other cases. The ADR procedure permits parties to choose neutrals who are specialists in the subject matter of the dispute.
