2 Alternative Dispute Resolution For Teachers: Introduction Australia s legal system relies heavily on the judiciary and courts to deliver and uphold the countries laws and legislation. As a result the courts are congested; individuals involved are often left to feel frustrated, overwhelmed and disenchanted and the concept of justice delayed is justice denied becomes all too real for those caught in the expensive quagmire of the court system. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms offer individuals access to the justice system without the time and cost associated with the traditional court system. Success is achieved as people have their cases heard in a non threatening environment in a designated time frame and for a fraction of the cost of the court system. The goal of the dispute resolution manager is to reach the best possible outcome for the parties involved. It attempts to reduce the adversarial winner and loser outcome and attempts to make all situations a win-win outcome.
