Where
should I start reading about the design of ADR programs?
Administrative
Conference of the United States (ACUS), Dispute Systems Design Working
Group: Evaluating ADR Programs, A Handbook for Federal Agencies (January
1995).
This handbook,
designed by and for federal government staff and mangers, covers the
basic principles of dispute system design and provides a checklist of
actions to take in implementing an ADR program within a federal agency
or department. A copy of the handbook is available at http://www.adr.af.mil..
