The Maryland Judiciary and MACRO support research, public awareness and outreach, and continuing education in the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution through a number of digital resources. These resources include research reports and publications, reference materials, videos, pre-recorded webinars and teleconferences.
Resources for Remote ADR
In situations when face-to-face mediation and other in-person alternative dispute resolution is not possible, ADR practitioners may want to consider the use of online platforms for remote ADR. The resources listed here have been collected from colleagues in the field and may assist you as you contemplate or continue your remote ADR practice. We will continue to update this section of the site as we receive new information.
