JUSTICE THAT WORKS…
YOU KNOW IT IS VITAL TO
PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF ADR
REAL JUSTICE WITH DIGNITY
MUST BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE
Members of the ADR community: You are proud of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) work you do, and it probably gives you great satisfaction. In your heart you know ADR can provide a relatively quick, equitable, and satisfying solution for most disputes. You are gratified that in a short time ADR has become a generally accepted approach to resolving many types of conflicts.
But in Sacramento and even in the courts, people are knowingly or inadvertently working to compromise the efficacy and integrity of ADR, as well as your ability to feel good about the ADR you practice. Every year old incursions are renewed and new attacks arise.
Unfortunately, you don’t have time to watch your back. You are busy with your business, performing ADR services, your family, pro bono and other work. In fact, you are probably desperate to find a little time for yourself.
