Vocabulary of ADR procedures

Article Abstract:

A vocabulary of alternative dispute resolution techniques should be created so that all ADR participants share the same understanding of the process. A vocabulary would include terms such as classic mediation, evaluative mediation, hybrid mediation, and med-arb. Classic mediation is traditional mediation. Evaluative mediation is the classic approach with early evaluation by the mediator. Hybrid mediation includes a technical expert. Med-arb uses arbitration as a follow-up to mediation.
