Lectures on Alternate Dispute Resolution 1st Edition 2025

Lectures on Alternate Dispute Resolution offers an in-depth and systematic exploration of ADR mechanisms as effective alternatives to traditional litigation. The book examines the principles, procedures, and practical applications of arbitration, mediation, conciliation, negotiation, and other hybrid dispute resolution methods.

It provides detailed coverage of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, judicial interpretation of arbitration agreements and awards, and the growing role of mediation and conciliation in civil, commercial, family, and labour disputes. Emphasis is placed on party autonomy, confidentiality, speed, cost-effectiveness, and enforceability of outcomes.

Written in a lecture-based format, the book is especially useful for students and practitioners seeking conceptual clarity and procedural guidance. It bridges theory and practice, making complex ADR processes accessible and practically applicable in real-world disputes.
