The ADR 101 form serves as a critical tool within the judicial system for summarizing and evaluating the effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes in civil cases. Utilized by parties involved in disputes ranging from personal injury and auto accidents to contract disagreements, this form must be completed and submitted within 10 days after a dispute has been resolved. It encompasses essential details including the name and type of the case, the amount in controversy, information about the legal representatives for all parties, and the ADR process employed—be it mediation, arbitration, neutral case evaluation, or another method. Furthermore, the form queries participants about their relationship to the case, the outcome of the ADR process, and any financial and time savings compared to traditional litigation. This comprehensive document not only aids in administrative record-keeping but also offers valuable insights into the efficiency and effectiveness of ADR methods in resolving legal disputes. Through questions on cost savings, time saved by the court, and willingness to use the process again, the ADR 101 form plays a pivotal role in gauging the success and potential areas for improvement in dispute resolution practices outside the courtroom.
