MR. DINO MAGNO
CRIM 5
PERFORMANCE TASK 1;

1. Instruction: In Three (3) paragraphs discuss/explain the concept of Alternative

Dispute Resolution (ADR) why it is considered by law as an efficient tools and
alternative procedures for the easiest resolution of cases. (20 points)
- Because of its private nature, ADR affords parties the opportunity to exercise
greater control over the way their dispute is resolved than would be the case in court
litigation. In contrast to court litigation, the parties themselves may select the most
appropriate decision-makers for their dispute.
In addition to serving as a potential means of avoiding the expense, delay, and
uncertainty associated with traditional litigation, ADR also is intended as a vehicle for
improving communication between the parties. ADR provides a forum for creative
solutions to disputes that better meet the needs of the parties.
There are many advantages, and some disadvantages, to using Alternative Dispute
Resolution. Advantages include the fact that it usually takes far less time to reach a final
resolution than if the matter where to go to trial. Usually (but not always), it costs
significantly less money, as well.
2. What are the Exception to the application of the ADR Act? Explain Each (20 points)
- (2) a proceeding to prove a claim or defense that under the law is sufficient to reform or
avoid a liability on a contract arising out of the mediation. (c) A mediator may not be

proceeding.
