This paper investigates the rising trend of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods in civil cases, analyzing their benefits and legal implications. With increasing caseloads in courts, ADR provides a viable alternative for efficient dispute resolution. The study evaluates various ADR methods, including mediation and arbitration, and examines their impact on the legal system, accessibility to justice, and cost-effectiveness. Findings suggest that ADR can significantly reduce litigation costs and improve outcomes for all parties involved, while also raising questions about enforceability and procedural fairness.
