Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee was established following the development of the Law Council of Australia's Policy on Alternative Dispute Resolution in 1989 (reaffirmed in 2008). The Committee exists to provide policy advice to the Law Council on ADR, including mediation, arbitration, early neutral evaluation, and conciliation. The Committee also liaises with other ADR bodies, including the ADR Committees of the various State and Territory Law Societies and Bar Associations, as well as the National Alternative Dispute Resolution Advisory Council (NADRAC).
