Finding an ADR Provider

Many cases can be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties without the necessity of traditional litigation, which can be expensive, time consuming, and stressful.

The Court maintains a database of ADR providers that parties can use for assistance in settling a case. You may search in the ADR database (using the "Search the ADR Provider Database" button) to find a private arbitrator, neutral evaluator or mediator that best suits your needs.

Name, email address, location, hourly rate and additional information will be displayed for each arbitrator or mediator you select.
