ADR Society helps law students explore the concepts and practice of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR refers to a variety of processes such as negotiation, mediation, and arbitration techniques that are designed to resolve legal disputes in a manner distinct from litigation.

Considering that over ninety-five percent of cases are settled outside of court, ADR principles are useful in any type of legal practice across both private and public sectors. Effective, zealous client representation increasingly calls for lawyers with ADR skills who can, for example, facilitate settlement negotiations or advise clients in ADR proceedings.

ADR Society aims to further students' understanding of ADR by hosting guest speakers, networking events, and opportunities to participate in negotiation and ADR competitions.
