What is an ‘alternative dispute resolution’?
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a process that can be used to resolve disputes between two parties without going to court. ADR typically involves a third party mediator who works with the parties to help them come to an agreement. This can be done through informal negotiation or a process called arbitration, which is similar to a court hearing but more informal and often less expensive. In arbitration, a neutral third party hears both sides and makes a decision about the dispute. ADR can be used to settle disputes of all kinds, including those related to art law in Mississippi. For example, ADR can be used to mediate disputes between artists, galleries, museums, and other art professionals. It can also be used to resolve disputes between artist and dealer relationships, as well as disputes over terms of contracts or ownership rights. ADR can provide a way to quickly and efficiently resolve disputes without the need to go to court, which can be costly and time consuming. It can also help to maintain relationships, especially if both parties agree to use ADR. In Mississippi, there are both private and public entities that offer ADR services. Additionally, many of Mississippi’s state agencies offer free mediation services, which can be beneficial for both parties.
