Indiana Judicial Committees and Commissions
Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee

 

Purpose

This committee reviews legislation affecting ADR, examines Indiana's Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules, and studies improvement suggestions. The committee currently is addressing the use of ADR techniques for the resolution of domestic relations cases involving pro se litigants. Specifically, members of the committee are working with the Indiana State Bar ADR Council to examine the potential ethical problems that neutrals face when the neutral assists the pro se parties in preparing paperwork necessary for the parties to finalize their dissolution, and to consider whether any modification of the ADR Rules are necessary to address ethical concerns. This committee meets quarterly.
