Overview

Sandra Day O’Connor, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America once declared that, “The courts of this country should not be places where the resolution of disputes begins. They should be the places where the disputes end after alternative methods of resolving disputes have been considered and tried.”[1] In other words, alternative dispute resolutions (“ADR”) should be prioritized by disputing parties rather than courts as ADR is able to offer flexible, fast, confidential dispute resolutions. Moreover, disputing parties also have the right to request testimonies at their tribunals.[2]
