Updated in 2021!
This is the fifth edition of the handbook first published in 2015. Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) is increasingly used to resolve disputes before a lawsuit is filed, in the
trial stage, and at the appellate level. Building on the work of the earlier ADR Committees,
the Dispute Resolution Section continues to work diligently to inform, educate, and
promote ADR throughout the state.

Identity thieves continually develop new ways to try to find out your personal information. Some common tip-offs that an email is phony are typos, grammatical mistakes, awkward language, missing words, extra spaces, and other signs that the email was written unprofessionally. Such emails might also ask you to look at an attachment or click a link and then give your personal information on a Web page or in a form. Or the sender’s email address might look suspicious. However, attackers are getting better at creating phony emails that look legitimate, so if you feel at all uncomfortable about an email that claims to be from the Center contact us.
