Missouri Procedures for ADR Referrals are a set of guidelines that govern the referral of a dispute to an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process. ADR is a form of dispute resolution that offers a less formal and less costly approach to resolving disputes than litigation. Missouri Procedures for ADR Referrals provide a framework for the referral of cases to an ADR process and the selection of an appropriate ADR provider. There are two types of Missouri Procedures for ADR Referrals: voluntary referral and court-ordered referral. Voluntary referrals are generally initiated by the parties involved in a dispute and can be done before or after a lawsuit is filed. The parties must agree to the use of an ADR process and the selection of an ADR provider. The parties can also agree on the terms and conditions of the ADR process. Court-ordered referrals are generally ordered by a judge as part of a judicial decision. In this case, the court will appoint an ADR provider and the parties must comply with the court's order. In both types of referrals, the parties must comply with the Missouri Procedures for ADR Referrals. These procedures include the selection of an appropriate ADR provider, the negotiation of terms and conditions, and the payment of fees and costs associated with the ADR process. The procedures also provide guidelines for the termination of the ADR process and the handling of disputes that cannot be resolved through the ADR process.
