Reflections on Judicial ADR and the Multi-Door Courthouse at Twenty: Fait Accompli, Failed Overture, or Fledgling Adulthood?

Stempel, Jeffrey W.. Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution, Jan. 1, 1996

This article gives a brief history of ADR and highlights several points that are often overlooked in the ADR debate. The author proposes a "second-generation, multi-door courthouse applying a mix of publicly administered ADR methods as useful adjuncts to the core of adjudication." The author concludes that "the most pronounced error of the modern dispute resolution movement in the judiciary has been its focus upon (and misdirected effort toward) advancing settlement qua settlement rather than providing what might be termed semi-adjudicatory options in addition to full-dress trial and settlement initiatives."
