The Jackson ADR Handbook was created following recommendations by Lord Justice Jackson for an authoritative handbook for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The first edition, written in collaboration with a specialist editorial advisory board, laid a strong foundation as an essential guide to ADR, and received judicial endorsement in the Court of Appeal and the Technology and Construction Court. The second edition built upon that success, becoming a set text with the Bar Standards Board. This fully revised third edition integrates a range of important new case law, locates ADR within an increasingly digital landscape, and addresses calls from within the judiciary for ADR to be incorporated at all stages of the dispute resolution process. Designed in a concise, user-friendly format, the text provides an in-depth overview of the options and principles of ADR, before looking at five focused areas: the interplay between ADR, CPR, and litigation; negotiation; mediation; recording and enforcing settlement; and other ADR options including the international perspective. Additional materials such as mediation providers, specimen documents, precedents, and practice tips are available on a companion website at www.oup.com/ADR3e
