MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #97088
BY: COMMISSIONER DENNIS POWERS
IN RE: (SUPPORT) THE OAKLAND COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION'S
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR) PROGRAM OF "ADR
IN THE SCHOOLS"
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, in 1996, the Oakland County Bar Association adopted a program to explore,
adopt and implement various methods which could resolve disputes easier and earlier; such
program is now known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR); and
WHEREAS, the goal of the ADR program is to facilitate early resolution and avoid
protracted litigation for all types of civil disputes; and
WHEREAS, such methods would alleviate congestion in the courts, reduce costs for both
citizens of Oakland County and its businesses; and
WHEREAS, as the ADR program developed and matured the Bar realized that a need
existed with our young people for them to also learn different methods in resolving disputes; and
WHEREAS, out of this need the "ADR in the Schools Program" was created in order to
educate and implement alternative methods for resolving disputes at the elementary, middle and
high school levels; and
WHEREAS, the goals of the ADR in the school program are to instill good citizenship in
our children and enhance the intent of the ADR concept of amicable resolution of conflicts and
disputes in a cost-effective manner.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners is in support of the Oakland County Bar Association's "ADR in the Schools
Program", the goals of which are to educate and instill non-adversarial methods for conflicts and
disputes in an efficient and effective manner.
