You Don't Have to Sue
(Solve a Problem Without Going to Court)

Suing someone in court isn't the only way to solve a legal problem. More and more people are using other ways to solve their legal problems outside of court. These alternatives are called "alternative dispute resolution," or "ADR" for short.

There are many different kinds of ADR. But all of them use a neutral person to decide your case or help you and the other side to come to an agreement.
