20 Hours of Holistic & Practical Learning in Alternative Dispute Resolution Practice
A-Z guide on the framework and practical aspects of ADR for budding lawyers.
Do you know that there are more than 38 million pending cases in the courts of India?
India is not big on litigations, if we compare to the US democracy, the general awareness towards civil rights and advocating for these rights is not as prominent in our country. The reason for the same can be attributed to many factors such as lack of education, lack of awareness, lack of resources etc. However, one significant reason for the same is the lack of ease when it comes to seeking judicial remedies.
Alternative Dispute Resolution practices emerged as a panacea for situations such as these, making court procedures an alternate option and providing other available resources in the form of ADR mechanisms. This alternative progression helps unburdening the courts as well as expediting the outcomes.
In our progression towards the global super power, ADR mechanisms has a significant role to play both commercially & civilly and that makes it an indispensable area to master for learners of law.
ADR includes various modes of settlement including, arbitration, conciliation, mediation and negotiation. ADR is gaining popularity since the settlement of disputes is less time consuming, free of technicalities of the courts, they allow the disputing parties discretion over the procedures and provide privacy over the dispute proceedings.
A good understanding of these ADR mechanisms is extremely important for any learner of law. This 20-hour certificate course aims to provide a foundational understanding of how these mechanisms work and enhance the knowledge of all participants.
This course is extremely beneficial since it provides a practical outlook on Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods, it also offers drafts and practical assessments of important documents which are required when initiating o proceeding with ADR.
