Alabama Center For Dispute Resolution
Supreme Court Commission on Dispute Resolution
The Center was established in 1994 by order of the Alabama Supreme Court, and serves as the state office of dispute resolution for Alabama. It is under the supervision of the Alabama Supreme Court Commission on Dispute Resolution.
The Center works with the courts, the Alabama State Bar, state agencies, schools, community mediation initiatives, and businesses to promote early and peaceful resolution of disputes.
