About the ADR Office

Mission Statement
It is the mission of the District Court of Maryland to provide equal and exact justice for all who are involved in litigation before the Court.

In order to promote a more civil society and to assist the District Court of Maryland in its mission, the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Office of the District Court of Maryland works to:

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

2. Establish and maintain high quality alternative dispute resolution programs that empower litigants;

3. Encourage the use of ADR options early on and throughout the litigation process.

4. Ensure that the ADR options are appropriate and accessible.
