Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution
The Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution is the
policy-making body appointed by the Georgia Supreme Court to oversee
the development of court-connected ADR programs in Georgia. The
Commission, composed of judges, lawyers and non-lawyer members,
meets on a regular basis to consider issues important to the development
of court-connected ADR in Georgia.
The Commission, working through its staff at the Georgia
Office of Dispute Resolution, has created a statewide plan for
ADR in Georgia. This plan enables any superior, state, probate,
magistrate or juvenile court in Georgia to offer litigants alternatives
to trial under provisions set forth in the Georgia
Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules and the filing
fee surcharge legislation which supports the administration
of local ADR programs.
