Educate all stakeholders (including judges, clerks, court personnel, members of the Bar, litigants and other dispute resolution providers) on the uses and benefits of alternative dispute resolution (ADR); 

Establish and maintain high quality ADR programs that empower litigants;

Encourage the use of ADR processes early on and throughout the litigation process;

Ensure that the ADR services are appropriate and accessible.
