Anyone who has ever been involved in litigation knows it can often take years for a case to be resolved, even if the case is ultimately settled. There are other options to resolve legal disputes. Within our legal system, there are a variety of forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) systems that allow parties to resolve their issues more quickly and with less cost. On this show, we discuss with our guests the various forms of alternative dispute resolution and we talk about when it might be better for disputing parties to seek these alternatives to the litigation process to resolve their differences. Our guests on this show are Pam Glean, NCCU Law Professor and Chair of the Dispute Resolution Institute, and Mavis Gragg, Supervising Attorney for the NCCU Law Dispute Resolution Clinic.
