In more cases participants will use ADR to solve their conflicts. 95 percent of all civil cases filed in court are resolved without going to trial . This paper will discuss why alternative dispute resolution is in most cases more useful than the normal court and judicial system. In order to prove this point, this paper will argue the advantages of ADR and the disadvantages of the court system for resolving disputes and conflict, by defining the way that ADR works as opposed to the way the court system is administered.
