General Assembly Takes Up Resolution Establishing a Study Group on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Delaware

House Joint Resolution # 15 to be exact:

This Resolution establishes a Study Group on Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) for the purpose of studying and making recommendations for strengthening and expanding ADR in Delaware. The Study Group will be a multi-disciplinary body that cuts across political, geographic, economic and social boundaries to work toward developing a comprehensive state system offering appropriate dispute resolution options to all Delawareans through a network of government agencies, schools, community centers, non-profits and other institutions. The Study Group will develop an Action Plan that will pioneer problem-solving methods, programs and systems to provide alternatives to fighting, impasse and litigation. The Study Group is a starting point in this process. The Study Group will be organized and staffed by the Conflict Resolution Program of the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration. The Study Group is directed to report to the Governor and the General Assembly by June 30, 2013.
