Abstract

In order to properly define the term alternative dispute resolution (ADR) it is important to consider the word dispute and how it relates to the concepts of conflict and conflict resolution. In practice the terms are often used interchangeably, although some scholars make a distinction between conflict and a dispute. The term dispute refers to the situation in which one person has perceived a wrong caused by another and some claim is made to, and rejected by, the other (Felstiner, Abel, & Sarat, 1981). Conflict is generally seen as something broader and may not include a claim and rejection (e.g., latent conflict). The phrase dispute resolution incorporates all methods of resolving disputes (ranging from informal negotiation to contested litigation).
