Twenty years ago, the Texas Legislature enacted the Texas Alternative Dispute Resolution Act. The Texas Bar Journal devoted its July, 2007 issue to the Act.
Recognizing that having disputes heard in court can be a lengthy and expensive experience, the legislature enacted various measures to help people resolve their disputes outside of the courtroom. Generally speaking, these alternatives to court are less traumatic, less expensive, and allow for more creative solutions that having a dispute heard by a judge or jury.
The ADR Act was and continues to be a real positive development in Texas. Happy Birthday.
