Alternative Dispute Resolution Section
Mission
The purpose of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) section is to promote the use of alternative methods of dispute resolution such as mediation, arbitration, early neutral evaluation, mini-trials, summary jury trials and private judging. While recognizing the importance of trials, the section works to further educate both the bar and the public about alternative dispute resolution.

Second Annual Mediation Day Scheduled for Sept. 15, 2011
The ADR Section Executive Committee and the Pro Bono Standing Committee of the Indianapolis Bar Association are pleased to announce that we are hosting our second annual Mediation Day on September 15, 2011 at Baker & Daniels, located at 300 N. Meridian St., Ste. 2700, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. The purpose of this Mediation Day is to provide a service to our courts and community by volunteering our time to mediate several screened cases for litigants who qualify for modest means mediation. Baker & Daniels has once again generously volunteered its downtown office to provide ample conference facilities for this joint endeavor. Volunteers will be asked to donate the normal $100.00 per hour fee for modest means mediations to the Indianapolis Bar Foundation.
To make this event a success, we are looking for 10 volunteers to staff our second annual mediation day. Commissioner Lynch in Paternity Court has been screening non-domestic violence cases for us and we will have ten cases to mediate on September 15th. Each volunteer mediator would agree to mediate one case starting at either 8:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. Volunteers can feel free to bring a laptop to assist with drafting agreements, and lunch will be provided. There will also be a judicial officer on site to approve the mediated agreements.
We hope you will set aside September 15th to volunteer for this fun and exciting project! If you wish to volunteer, please email Elisabeth Edwards at eedwards@wanzeredwards.com with a desired start time (8:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m.). Once we have enough mediators, we will follow up with you directly with greater details. Thank you!
