description abstract | Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is rapidly becoming a mainstream option to traditional litigation in the United States. Its effectiveness in resolving private-sector construction disputes has been proven, and its benefits, for the most part, uncontroverted. Sufficient attention, however, has not been given to adapting ADR for use on public projects. Public construction operates in a unique context, where the institutional realities facing a public owner can undermine the effectiveness of even the most promising ADR method. This paper discusses the characteristics of ADR, its acknowledged benefits, and the extent of our present ability to realize those benefits in public construction. Measures for tailoring ADR for its effective use in the public sector are offered. | |
