Alternative Dispute Resolution This is one in a series of case studies describing applications of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The case study is part of a Corps program to encourage its managers to develop and utilize new ways of resolving disputes. These case studies are a means of providing Corps managers with examples of how other managers have employed ADR techniques. The information in this case study is designed to stimulate innovation by Corps managers in the use of ADR techniques. Topics addressed include major issues, positions of each side, pros and cons of the Corps and the contractor, settlement negotiations, and process evaluation.
