Development of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Banglades :

ADR is a term that refers to several different methods of resolving disputes outside traditional legal and administrative forums. The main ADR alternatives to civil litigation are arbitration, conciliation and mediation. Disputing parties use these ADR methods because they are expeditious, private and generally much less expensive than a trial. Mediation is a concept that is often mistakenly confused with conciliation. Although the two methods have similar aspects, they are fundamentally different. To appreciate the differences between arbitration, mediation, and conciliation, it is helpful to explain them separately.

In June 2000, formalized ADR was introduced in Bangladesh by means ofcourt- annexed judicials ettlement pilot projects, in an effort to decrease delays, expenses, traditional trial process.
