Alliance Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ACADR), Alliance School of Law is organising an International Conference on “THE FUTURE OF ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES”.

Arbitration, Mediation, Negotiation, Conciliation, Lok Adalat, Settlement etc. are the various methods for settling disputes which have received worldwide recognition and are applied successfully, as they settle disputes in a speedy and amicable manner. The process of arbitration is not alien to India. It always had been practiced since time immemorial. In India, people believed in resolving disputes within the four walls hence, the mechanism has gained significance in India since ancient times. Arbitration and mediation are necessary in the present time especially in India where 30 million cases are reportedly pending. The entire objective of ADR is to bring speedy justice and to reduce the backlogs of Public Interest Litigation and many Criminal cases so that the Judges are free to apply their minds and devote their time to other important matters having National & Constitutional Significance.  

The conference aims to provide a platform for discussion on the Future of Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Modern World, its prospects and challenges.
