The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has emerged as a vital component of the modern justice system, offering efficient, flexible, and cost-effective mechanisms to resolve disputes outside traditional courtrooms. With increasing case backlogs, judicial delays, and high litigation costs, ADR methods such as arbitration, mediation, and negotiation provide parties with quicker resolutions while preserving relationships and ensuring confidentiality. In the future of justice systems worldwide, ADR is expected to play a transformative role by reducing the burden on courts, promoting access to justice, and encouraging participatory dispute settlement. Technological advancements, such as online dispute resolution platforms, are further expanding their scope and accessibility, especially in cross-border and commercial disputes. Moreover, ADR fosters a culture of dialogue and compromise, aligning with global trends toward restorative rather than adversarial justice. Therefore, ADR represents not only an alternative but also a progressive step toward a more inclusive, efficient, and sustainable justice system.
