Alternative Dispute Resolution

The mission of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section is to promote the informed use of ADR procedures to resolve conflicts in a fair, timely, and cost effective manner.

The ADR Section is in the process of creating a list of ADR Section members who are qualified, practicing arbitrators in Mississippi. This list will be maintained on the ADR Section Website and is designed to assist the public and the bar in locating persons qualified to serve as arbitrators. If you are interested in being listed, please fill out the Arbitrator List Application.
