Abstract

Discusses how Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) can reduce the unwanted effects of litigation in agency adjudication. Starts with the basics of ADR and how ADR works, then discusses the history of ADR in Texas, and finally looks at how Texas agencies have incorporated ADR. Compares the ways that the State Office of Administrative Hearings, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, and the Texas Department of Public Safety have implemented ADR methods.
