Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) encompasses a wide variety of methods that are used to resolve conflicts between people. Mediation, settlement facilitation and arbitration are common forms of ADR offered by courts as less expensive and quicker alternatives for folks who wish to avoid a full court process. Mediation provides an opportunity for individuals who are in a dispute to discuss concerns and to design a mutually satisfying resolution to some or all of the issues with the help of a trained professional.
 
The Statewide Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission was formed by the New Mexico Supreme Court in 2011 to help develop, organize and monitor court-connected ADR services across the state. The commission provides resources to the courts and the public, and recognizes local innovation and success in state court ADR programs and services. More information can be found at: https://alternativedisputeresolution.nmcourts.gov/
