Supporting and transforming the community of dispute resolution practice by providing leadership, direction and growth.
Dear all,
ADRA is proud to have submitted our response to the recent Consultation Paper 18, particularly on the definition of mediation. We largely supported the Bar Association's submissions. Our submissions are now published with this post.
We hope that the submissions help to educate the public on the industry of dispute resolution.

In this edition, AIDC chats with a member of “Generation Next”, about her perceptions of mediation.
